reef terminology vs what others think.

[fishoholic]

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.

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!

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 .
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!

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.
