@interfluidity Is that some slang for a contemporary kind of pneumonia or what am i missing here?
@interfluidity Ah, now your original toot makes total sense.
On a related note, should outgoing ministers of health be checked if they had a bitemark that they carefully hid?
@admitsWrongIfProven in theory, it’s supposed to describe a kind of pneumonia so mild you tend to mistake it for an ordinary cold, “walk around” with it. in practice, well, i don’t think i’d make that mistake.
