I know it's probably a regional term, and some languages/cultures have their own acronyms-- e.g.. Military- SNAFU,FUBAR,..Medical/General Support (this board), LLMD, "Ducks",etc. This is from "Wikipedia", which I usually trust, as long as "edits" have not been performed on a "minute-by-minute" basis.,which we all know occur,especially for the topic "Lyme Disease"...What is your "take" on this?... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uff_da Joe

Now if someone could just find a single term everyone can understand for Betty to use to replace her infamous quote "...break(ing) this up for neurolymies...".

It sure would make her job of getting that point across much easier.
