Yesterday, I went to the dentist for my semi-annual cleaning. While the hygienist was scraping the tartar off of my teeth, I asked her "Is this tool specifically for removing tartar?"
"Yeah," she answered.
"So it's a tartar removal device?"
"Yeah. Where are you going with this?" She knows I'm a smart ass.
"Well, you could call it a TRD (pronounced turd) for short."
She laughed and said "I don't think that's politically correct."
"Yeah, but it gets worse. You could even say to your patients 'Hey, how do you like that TRD in your mouth?'"
"Yeah," she answered.
