For some reason people always asked me why I taught high school and not elementary. My smart ass reply was that I didn’t want anyone to throw up on my shoes. Then in the middle of an eleventh grade ACT test a young woman came up to me and said “I don’t feel well” and threw up on my shoes. Guess it was Karma.
Oh yeah, there are many words of power…. When two friends of mine were being married, in the midst of the ceremony in church, my then 3 year-old daughter cried „wee wee“. Feel free to fancy what happend …
The three indisputable reasons why one SHOULD call into work sick: vomiting, diarrhea, fever above 101 F. Broken bones, intractable pain, vertigo, labor with childbirth- if you can work with those, more power to you, but nobody wants your contagious stuff.
There’s a sweet old joke about the mother who goes to her son’s school to explain to the principal why he won’t be in school that day. The principal thanks her, but says that it really wasn’t necessary for her to come in person, a note would do. "Oh, I know that, sir. But I don’t know how to spell “diarrhea”, and “sh*t” looks common in writing".

I use a different term. The polite version is “butt storm.” The impolite version substitutes a synonym for “donkey.”

Words don’t innately have power. The listener gives them power.

In school, there was a girl named Rhea Dyer. Many things were posted, Lastname first, Firstname last.

sounds like something my little brother did when he was in school… we all dread when he still has it, actually. :\

That is definitely a word with power — and the need for rapid bathroom access.

The other extreme can be just as bad: Three days and no bowel movement. Get out that prune juice.
