Normal Words, different meanings
I was thinking whilst here at work about words i use that are 'normal' words but have totally different meanings in teh context I use them
e.g. jar - to everyone else its a container for liqueds, to me its a collection of java classes(Java ARchive) EAR - you listen with yours, I deploy them to WebSphere (Enterprise ARchive) bounce - you would bounce a ball, I mean to stop and start something. So what 'words' do you use that have different meanings to their normal use |

Re: Normal Words, different meanings
Hmmm, I suppose that there are lots where I work.
Liquor - to most, an alcoholic drink......To me Amniotic Fluid. Abortion - to most, getting rid of an unwanted pregnancy, to me, a miscarriage. Show - to most, a form of entertainment, to me, a mucousy plug which sits in the neck of the womb and drops out at the end of a pregnancy and during labour....often alarmingly blood stained but completely normal. Attitude - to most, a personal mental characteristic, to me, denotes the flexion of a baby in the uterus eg, whether the baby is well flexed (curled up in a typical foetal position) or.... whether the baby is stretched out or extended with head held high, military attitude (like a soldier on parade), not a good position for birth.. Theatre - to most, an entertainment venue, to me, an operation venue. That's just a few...
