The military seems to have a language of its own, with many terms, acronyms, initialisms and abbreviations that aren't generally used in the "civilian world." What is an acronym? It is a word created from the first letter of a series of other words. It is spoken as one word. What is an initialism? It is a word created from the first letter of a series of other words, but each letter is spoken separately. What is an abbreviation? It is a shortened version of a word. What is Short Speak? It is any and all of the above. Want to know what they are talking about? Read on... ![](http://images4.fotki.com/v40/photos/1/106521/398438/StarsStripesseperator-vi.gif?1066276156) |

YOKE :
Heckling in the courtroom had constantly interrupted the trial, and the judge had had enough.
The next person who interrupts the proceeding will be thrown out of my court! he said severely, at which the defendant yelled, Hooray!

Call your pharmacy and ask if they have finger guards. They're $5-10 and there are different types for the need. I got one yesterday and it makes a world of difference. I was able to cut down on the pain meds instantly.

Boo Boo kisses to you both! Oh, thank you! I guess it's going to be sore for a while. If you saw it you'd know why.
Ma, were you still able to eat the chicken?
