EMT-Empties Medics Trash

Okay.... I hope this doesn't offend anyone.... (please don't yell at me)...

BUT, since I live in the DC area here, we have one of our own sayings here... (both the poilce and fire use this term) and we joke on CAD about it...

DWA - Driving While Asian

I live in Cali and we have the same saying along with HP-hispanic panic. I don't think its racist or makes someone a bigot when you notice social or ethnic trends. We have stereotypes for a reason, people fit them.

Sorry, had to get that out. Back to acronyms!

Another one I heard in Basic class...

EMT-B: Empty My Trash-(female dog)

It's not the same when you can't type out the last word!

Actually, I do find that offensive.:sad:

QueenEmt,

why would you post something that you know ahead of time will offend somebody...

everyone can make a mistake, so perhaps you could apologize to anyone you may have offended...

I hope you're all kidding. Having many asian friends, and witnessing some quality (sarcasm-dripped for extra taste) asian driving, we can all (my [asian] buddies and I) agree that DWA is a chronic condition of any multicultural urban centre.




Oh, and an acronym that was homegrown in my service for our more bull:censored::censored::censored::censored: calls:

BBC - Big Baby Call (I know it's way more PC than a lot of these, but it works for us)
