reef terminology vs what others think.
 
I got thinking about the way us "reefers" talk.

For example when I said "Yep I'm a reefer" the other day at work, one of the girls said "What you smoke pot?!" I said no, but then I had to explain what "reefers" ment to me.

I also told my co-worker today about the "nudi's" I was getting after work from another "reefer" and well you can guess were that conversation lead to. :lol:

Anyone else have simular stories?

Try talking about your hydriod problems!

My g/f is a pharmacist & she said she could get me some cream for that! :lol:

Try mentioning your "Cyano outbreak". People quickly take a step back, 'cuz they don't want to catch it: whatever it is!

Never say you have a Goniopora. You'd be surprized at how quickly people run when they think you have an STD ;)

See what reaction you get when you say this to your friends and family:

"There's something wrong with my brain. It's not opening up."

If you're a female; don't mention your gaping clam mantle.

(Sorry Girls.)

I had a "my brains turned to brown goo" conversation with my husband on the phone once, it was hilarious he had forgotten I had picked up an open brain coral from big als the week before :lol: .
My husband also tells all his truck driver friends that he brings me home crabs

Marie, that's almost as bad as red bugs on your pocillopora!:mrgreen:

Oh, and Myka. Don't mention that you've been breeding Bangers, or all the girls at the office will want to get in on it. :wink:
