CPAP Clichés

Post by mikemoran » Fri Nov 18, 2005 9:28 am

With a new lifestyle it’s only appropriate we come up with some new sayings that will baffle the un-inflated and give us reasons to flash that in the club smirk. Here are few I have been hosing around with:

Changing hoses in mid-stream – Upgrading to a heated hose to stop torrential downpours.

Gonna go catch some breezzzzzzzzs – Balloon talk for heading to bed.

Sawing some water logs – Replacing our snoring with Rain Out gurgling.

Let sleeping logs lie – What you tell your spouse who used to poke you because you were snoring and now pokes you to see if you are still alive. (Any cure for the Poking Bed Partner Condition?)

You can’t teach old Docs new tricks – A handy phrase to use when you hear things like, “Passover humidifiers should give you adequate moisture”, or “Autos won’t give you good therapy”.

Into each nose some rain must fall – Self explanatory.

Don’t hook a gift hose in the mouth – Unless you really want Angelina Jolie lips.

The old hose and blow – What we are tied to for better not worse.

When it rains it snores – An excuse you can now use for any sound that emanates from your body during the night.

And my personal favorite:

“_____” em if they can’t take a toke – For all those jealous wanna be inflatees.

LOL!

How about:

An OSA patient and his money are soon parted.
A good mask on the face is worth two in the trash.
A journey of a thousand sleeps begins with the first breath.
A night is a terrible thing to waste.
A head with a chinstrap helps the CPAP go down.
A CPAP every night keeps the doctor away.
Better to have breathed with CPAP than to never have breathed at all.

Hey, I resemble that remark.

Good ones, guys!
Can I join in, too?
My problem was I kept thinking of multiple versions of the same ones.


A CPAP in time.....saves lives.

Up your nose with a rubber hose (didn't have to change that one)

Old hosers never die.....they just sleep away.

Old hosers never die.....they just snore away.

Loose lips......sink your therapy.

If at first you don't succeed.....try, try....another mask.

A penny saved is a penny......taken by your doctor and DME

A penny saved is a penny......spent on your next mask

A few more:

I bet you dollars to hoses

Night Quell- The nightime sniffling, sneezing, weezing, breathing help you get to sleep machine.

To breathe is human, to sleep is devine

Ask not what you can do for your CPAP, but what your CPAP can do for you.

Go forward now, you've got the wind to your back (of your throat that is!!)
