“The medics generally see the worst of the worst. They see everything. They're working on their friends, and they're working on their enemy.

“Create sacred spaces in the workplace as well. Classrooms, five years ago, professors would say, I don't want be a nanny to my students. They can do whatever they want. Now professors are saying, put away that laptop, because studies show that it not only takes away the attention of the person who's on the laptop from the class, but everyone around them.

“The terms "idiot" and "lunatic" were acceptable diagnostic terms in England up until 1959. "Imbecile" and "feeble-minded person" were, likewise, listed as official categories in the 1913 Mental Deficiency Act. England has always lagged a bit behind in discarding outdated terms for the disadvantaged. When I was there in 1980, it was still possible to shop for used clothing at the local Spastic Shop. That is, compared to the United States, where it takes, oh, about twenty-five minutes for a diagnostic euphemism to become a conversational faux pas.” PersonsStillsStatesUsedBitsTermUnitedBehindsUnited StatesFiveMinutesEnglandTwentiesLocalsIdiotOfficialsShopsCategoriesClothingsAcceptableFive MinutesLunaticTwenty FiveDeficiencyOutdatedImbecilesEuphemismDisadvantagedFauxFaux Pas Book:Six Feet Over: Adventures in the Afterlife Source: Six Feet Over: Adventures in the Afterlife
