radar - having a bk on the record isn't the end of the world. people who bk'd once generally are very dedicated about managing their debt in the future. being in the middle of bankruptcy and wasting a car guy's time is another thing.

Go on the internet and find out what the car should cost. Subtract $5,000, then write that number on your cleavage with lipstick. Be careful it's not backwards. Now if the salesman stares, he'll pick up the subliminal message and you'll get a deal.
If you have to put up with 'em, you might as well use 'em.

Shit, if it will save me $5000 I'll go in there with a bikini top on.

We used to say FLK (funny looking kid) when a kid was ugly but not necessarily medically deformed. The kidjust looked weird. The parents, inevitably, looked weird, too.

Medicine uses a lot of military jargon---Fubar, snafu, stfu...

Here's some more I found:

Some others....

ART = The patient died. Stands for "Assuming room temperature."

CC = Also used when the patient has died. Means "Cancel Christmas."

WUD = Woke-up dead.

GDA = "Gonna die anyway." Sometimes written as "F BUNDY" (@#$%ed, but unfortunately not dead yet.)

FDGB = "Fall down, go boom"

GOMER = It stands for "Get out of my emergency room", e.g. used in reference to junkies trying to scam drugs from the ER.

CCFCCP = Used when the patient is obviously not mentally cogent. It stands for "Coo-coo for coco puffs."

EMS = Of course this really stands for "Emergency medical services" but the joke is that it stands for "Earn money sleeping."

TMB = This is the cause of death indicated when the patient is very old. It stands for "Too many birthdays."

Heme = A slang term for blood, used when the patient or family is listening and it might upset them.

Occipital Implant = A gunshot wound in the head.

Terminal deceleration = Fatal car crash.

FLB = "Funny looking bumps", a way to describe an abnormal EKG.

MUH = Another nondescript way to indicate a coronary condition. Means "messed up heart."

WNL = It's supposed to stand for "Within normal limits", e.g. "BP WNL" is "blood pressure within normal limits", but the joke is that it really stands for "We never looked."

PAFO - "Pissed And Fell Over

Rule of Five - means that if more than five of the patient's orifices are obscured by tubing, they have no chance of survival.

UBI - "Unexplained Beer Injury.

Well, that's a tough act to follow. When Iworked in a bike shop we'd occasionally get junkers in that needed to be scrapped but for what ever reason the owners wanted us to keep the bike going. We knew the mechanic wouldn't be able to repair it to our specs, so we'd write MSR (make shit run) on the ticket.

Once a customer looked at the ticket and asked "What does MSR mean? I asked for a tune up."

"Uhh. It means 'make sure it runs well.'" They looked skeptical, but bought it.

occasionally a salesman will tell a customer that the car comes with the EAD package.

In college, we called it "buying stock in Chesebrough-Ponds" when you knew you were going to get reamed on an exam...

My favorite is "Great Googley Moogley", just because I like the way it sounds all strung together and I can say it anywhere without offending someone.
My favorite expletive, to be said with feeling, is: Fuck-a-diddle!

My Mother came to visit two years ago and HER favorite expletive at the time was: Crap-ass! ...sort of muttered under her breath. I've caught myself and my husband saying it, though we tend to use full voice and not mutter it. I was over at a friend's house a few months ago and I heard her teenage son yell "crap-ass!" at his truck while he was tinkering under the hood...
Great expletives just happen to travel well, I guess.

Here in the South, I haven't encountered ANY good expletives at work. Everyone just says a whimpy: "Oh, me!" What is up with that too-polite-to-say-shit-if-you-have-a-mouthful-of-it attitude?

The Deputies up in WA State would comment: Joke 'em. Which was shorthand for "Joke 'em if they can't take a fuck."
