Can stellar sea cows get Plantar's warts?

about 1 year ago yarb said:

I was just quoting dontcry, below.

about 1 year ago sionnach said:

yarb: you have considered the possibility that 'plantar' is an adjective, right?

about 1 year ago dontcry said:

Let me put it this way, bubble boy: yes ;-)!

about 1 year ago yarb said:

I had Plantar's warts (amusing name) when I was a young oik, but not since.

Seriously, am I alone in not producing toejam??

about 1 year ago dontcry said:

You know who would NEVER be afflicted with one? Mr. Cleanfeet...yarb!

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Oh sionnach, you wouldn't laugh if you'd ever been afflicted with one!

about 1 year ago sionnach said:

guffawing at Plantar's warts. like peanuts that grow on your foot.

about 1 year ago dontcry said:

Plantar's wart?
Blue Flu?

about 1 year ago dontcry said:

The "trots?"

about 1 year ago dontcry said:

When I first (just now) saw the word Dehli belly I thought it referred to that little patch of belly you often see peeking through the middle of the sari wrappings, and that made me laugh! Then I read up on it -- eeuuww!

about 1 year ago sionnach said:

Pro: what is your fascination with poor suffering Ondine?

I'm not adding 'Delhi belly'. I have standards for my lists. Sometimes they may be obscure, but I do have them. And 'Delhi belly' is an unfortunate coinage, at best.

Venus's curse

about 1 year ago John said:

Irish flu?

about 1 year ago Prolagus said:

If it's a matter of how common it is, then Ondine's curse is a priori excluded, I guess...

about 1 year ago bilby said:

Delhi belly, athlete's foot.

about 1 year ago sionnach said:

Pro: I just included tennis elbow because I think it's more common than golfer's elbow (granted this is based on the purely local evidence provided by my father, an avid golfer and a notorious hypochondriac, who never complained of anything wrong with either of his elbows).

yarb: I am in a bad way, though it has a quite specific origin, the condition known to travelers to Mexico as Montezuma's revenge.

about 1 year ago pterodactyl said:

Swimmer's ear?

about 1 year ago Prolagus said:

Golfer's elbow*? Tennis elbow**?

*Medial epicondylitis
*Lateral epicondylitis

You're in a bad way.
