On Pus

It's hard to relay this story in written form. The topic is pus (as I mentioned earlier).  Beware.

When we see animals in need of medical attention, we write up a short note about them in our computer program to let everyone know what the problem is.

At a staff meeting it was brought to our attention that someone had incorrectly used the word pus. Actually, they'd made up a word. Pus-y. But they spelled it 'pussy'. The sentence was this: "this cat has pussy discharge." Um. Gross. Not only is that not a word as it was intended, but occasionally these notes can be subpoenaed if needed in certain cases. That would be fun to explain to a court.
