Doctor De'ath and Nurse Killer at your service ma'am
I was looking at the news and saw the name of a cricketer called Sidebottom.
I mean really!!
wouldn't you change your name if it were silly?
I used to know two Doctor Whites and one was a Gynaecologist!!!!
and a Doctor De'ath, and a nurse in my theatre called Carol Killer!!! and the ubiquitous Mr Bone my colleague who worked in Orthopaedics!!!

I knew of an old retired doctor named 'Pyne' (not sure how he spelled it) 'Coffin' and lots of Sidebottom's but most tried to posh it up a bit and pronounce it 'Siddy-bothoom' or similar
Apparently it is derived from the Cheshire dialect and 'Sid' means 'wide' and 'Botm' which means a valley floor so it is a farming reference

Hey Ebikatsu I work in theatres too. Awfulpaedics is my speciality but just about done the works over the years
done everything except cardiac, then ran trauma and ortho for years till I came here
So glad to have left all those screws and jigs behind

Yep that was his name
One of my favourites is when astronomers start talking about the planet URANUS When I was a kid it was always called Uranus (pronounced = Your Anus) So when they talked about "Rings around Uranus" I found it particularly amusing Nowadays they try to posh it up a bit and pronounce it as something like 'Ooo-ra-nuss' which has spoiled it a bit for me But I am still waiting for them to discover another planet near to it as they will probably name it 'Boom-holay' obviously to be written as 'Bumhole'

I suppose when you look at the dates associated with most of them, the modern meanings would not have been around at the time. A modern day example would be the surname 'Minger' seventy years ago it would have a different meaning to the modern day one which according to my kids, a minger is something that smells really bad
