Word games for goths

[Jaye Jang]

Okay,

It's not like we don't have enough of these, but.... Today, I was typing reports in ASR, (I work as a MT/ME -- medical typist/editor).which is Advanced Speech Recognition. That's laughable in its own 'write.' Usually I type for medicos who merely dictate (or babble, whatever). ASR is where the computer tries to recognize some of this babble as actual speech. Now, granted, doctor bloopers are pretty funny (my alltime favorite being the doctor who stated, unequivocally, "The patient states he is a male; however, he is an unreliable historian"). Yeah, we say "Huh?!" a lot in my profession. However, computer bloopers are even better.

To that effect, word games. Today, the word is 'EMO'. Not to pick on you folks, but I was typing a report for an Occidental fellow, who the computer could NOT understand (neither could I), and every time this poor doctor would say 'hemo-something' the computer was printing out emo-something, which I got to happily laugh at and edit.

I found, so far: Emostat, emostasis, emoclip, and emophilia. I thought, that's just good. So, word games for goths (emos can join in).

Find a word with emo, goth, punk, whatever, and make it fit something. I.e. an EMOclip, could be what you get when an emo meets a death-rocker in a dark alley. An EMOstat could be a fast-moving emo, obviously trying to escape said death-rocker.

You get the idea.

Have fun.

Weak.




This thread is uber-weak.
