Honest definitions from work and life

  • Hypochondriac

    noun

    A person who freaks out over every minor paper cut or ache and is convinced it’s the start of something catastrophic in their body. Google’s favourite customer and the doctor’s recurring headache.

    Josh: "Doc, I sneezed twice today. I think I might have... er... African trypanosomiasis?"
    Josh's unlucky Doctor friend: (visibly irritated) "I checked you already. It's nothing. You googled random nonsense again, didn't you?"
    Josh: "What about the rash—"
    Doctor: "From your new detergent!"
    Josh: "But Google says—"
    Doctor: "You are a hypochondriac with way too much free time. Now get out before I diagnose you with Acute Doctor's Rage Syndrome! Trust me, you don’t want to Google that one!"
