My path prof taught us about inflammation, by rolling up his left sleeve, and pounding
his forearm, until we thought he had flipped. He watched the white area that appeared
first
, turn red and swell. Then pointing to it, he said in oratorical fashion:
Rubor, calor, tumor, dolor, functio laesa. These are the cardinal symptoms of inflammation.....
That was about sixty ;years ago. His demonstration was very effective.
Edit: scatologic typo corrected. Thanks,AS

Far be it from me to comment on a typo [ahem] but I'm just waiting for the non-USns to pounce on this one!

I'm just waiting for the non-USns to pounce ..Oh, go on then.  I found it very hard to work out what it was meant to be, unduly fixated on the image of a teacher giving himself a shite-coloured bruise. Certainly vivid!

Maybe I should make more typos.
Anyone want to guess vulgarization of "functio laesa". I haven't even checked the Latin,
but I remember what it got corrupted to.

Sorry to bring up this old(er) thread but I thought I could clarify the Turkish at least...
Judging from the way the browser has bastardized your letters, I think the Turkish spelling must be
A soft-g R i-with-no-dot
The soft g isn't pronounced, it just makes the aah sound of the A longer. The i-with-no-dot sounds more or less like English schwa. So the pronunciation would be something like aaah-ruh.

Is "Dolores" derived from the gallic words for "pain"? Good question, Wordwind. But "Dolores" is english, is it not, and who would christen their daughter a "pain" ... other than a mother in labor?
