Workplaces, science labs, NASA, the military and hospitals all have their own language and acronyms. It is inescapable. The words they use are not used by the general population and are specific to their work. Here are some samples with translations.

Doctor Cranston yelled down the hallway, "Bring epinephrine STAT for Mr. Green's S.O.B.!" Translation: Bring some epinephrine drug right this second for Mr. Green's allergic reaction causing the shortness of breath.

General Eisenhower was furious when Patton slapped the grunt simply because the soldier was suffering from combat fatigue or PTSD. Eisenhower later learned the trooper had dysentery and a high bug fever. He was really furious when he learned Patton had jumped the gun and assaulted a soldier.

Translation: General Eisenhower was furious when General Patton slapped Private Anderson (not his real name) because Anderson was severely affected by the bombing and combat experience. Eisenhower later learned Private Anderson was suffering from long term effects of the trauma of combat, in addition to dysentery (a form of diarrhea) and fever from malaria.

What is Bilingualism?

Bilingualism means that there is more than one official language for example Canada has English as a fist language and French as a second language.
