Gun = Rootie Tootie Point and Shootie

Pointy Shootie

can't believe they left out cruise missile: zoomy boomy

FYI: Defibrillators don't start the heart, they stop it.

The heart doesn't stop in many heart attacks. Instead it just beats erratically and in a way that doesn't pump blood well. Shocking the heart to stop it (what a defib does) causes the nerve cells to "reboot" and start beating regularly again.

Shocking a victim who's heart has stopped is useless and automatic defibrillators won't go off until they've detected the arrhythmia.

Hearty restarty

It's essentially the "have you tried turning it off and back on again" of cardiology.

When I was a teenager my computer survived years of percussive maintenance. All I'm saying is, have doctors tried beating the shit out of their patients?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Mind blown! 🤯

[–] wurstgulasch3000@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I blame House MD for this common misconception

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yes, thank you, I'm glad you mentioned it here, it doesn't happen often enough. I mean, it's even in the name, right? Defibrillator gets rid of fibrillation - the erratic beating!

And hippos aren't buoyant.

Brazilian Waxing = Shiny Giny

Beans = Farty Starties

Because they give you gas (pooty booty).

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And if they went bad, you get booty shooty (diarrhea).

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Beans, beans, the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot.

The lol per pixel ratio of this meme was significantly above the mean

[–] tteok@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

I am literally reading this on my squatty potty (if you don't have one - BUY ONE)

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Erectile Dysfunction = Teenie Weenie

[–] Godort@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago

It's a travesty that they aren't called "Fuzzy Buzzies"

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 1 week ago

Pooper scooper -> Poopy Scoopy

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I am completely on board with this and suggest we amend all the dictionaries immediately.

[–] OneCardboardBox@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 week ago

You can thank the US Army for that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCR-300

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Huh, I thought defibrillators were for arrhythmias, but it's also for cardiac arrest.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yup, and it fucking sucks (better than dying though) to have one used on you.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

...now I want to try it. Which is probably unwise.

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Call of the void.

Yeah, id probably join you.

[–] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

It should be called Hearty Stoppy. That's what they do. Stop your heart so it can reboot in safe mode.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago
[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Perhaps my favorite meme ever

[–] Seasm0ke@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I call noodles, long ass rice.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Well it's that or the Action Comics method.

Alliteration for everyone!

[–] Hux@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

I can only read this in Paul McCartney’s voice…

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

Tractor trailers = big rigs.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Surely Stamps should be called Lickie-Stickie-Posties.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Prison Snitch = Snitchie Bitchies get the Stitchies

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

glowy hoppy
