If you've never read Michael Crichton's autobiography Travels you should. In it, he talks about some of the curiously inane traditions of doctors, one of which is their use of secret acronyms to describe patients. Like FLK for 'Funny Looking Kid'.
Breakfasting with Kerry and Robin at PJ's Pancake House last week in Princeton, it became apparent that their Newfoundland puppy, Beanie, is going through the same awkward growth stage that Indiana is - where he's all knees and elbows.
So we decided Beanie was a FLN 'Funny Looking Newfie' and Indiana is a FLP 'Funny Looking Pyrenees'.
What's yours?
