SHIT

Acronym for "Sorry honey, it's Thursday." Used when someone says "TGIF" a day early.

A blonde gets into an elevator and sighs "TGIF!"

The brunette already in the elevator shakes her head and says "SHIT".

The blonde says, slowly and carefully, "T.G.I.F."

The brunette insistently says "S.H.I.T."

The blonde says "TGIF stands for 'Thank goodness it's Friday, you idiot!"

The brunette responds "I know. SHIT stands for 'sorry honey, it's Thursday'."

Can't see the trees for the wood

Used to desribe someone who is so caught up with the big picture that they lose sight of the smaller but more important details. Opposite of can't see the wood for the trees.

"If you pay off an extra €150 a month on your mortgage, you'll pay it off two years earlier and save €4,000 altogether."

"But since my husband lost his job, we're barely making enough to pay the bills as it is; we can't afford an extra €150 every month."

"Ah, but if you just make this sacrifice now, you'll be in a much, much better position in 18 years!"

"But as I said... oh forget it, you can't see the trees for the wood."

negative income

A situation in which your wages or salary is less than your day-to-day expenses.

Let's see, I make €400 a week after tax. Rent is €100, food is €50, gas is €50, insurance is €150 all told, electricity is €75...crap, negative income! Better cut back on something.

I was on my way to see my homies when this oik comes up and asks me to buy him some booze.

zebra

In medicine, a common disease presenting with unusual symptoms. Also applies to a patient with symptoms common to several diseases in which the first diagnosis is of a rare or obscure disease, when the truth is a more mundane disorder.

The term was popularised by Scrubs.

Derived from the axiom "When you hear hoofbeats, think 'horses', not 'zebras'.

If a patient presents with vomiting, dairrhoea, and fever, West Nile Virus is a zebra; they're more likely to have enteropathogenic E. coli infection.
