2,974 for NHS. It refused to search for Social or Social Services because it was "too common" a term!!

63 - toxic

Most recent examples of the word "toxic" being used on this forum are directed towards carees - yes really! Check it and see.

eg: (quote) get out of that toxic house with your toxic mother in it" etc. etc. etc.

Now I do not speak for anyone else but in my 73 years I have never encountered toxic being used to describe another human being, let alone on a carer support website! Yet as far as I can see, no-one has challenged this so maybe it's ok? I don't think so !

I haven't used this search thingy before, could be interesting, maybe I'll go and look up "ageist remarks" after all you have to start somewhere.

175 references to 'helicopter'...and some of these are even about those metal objects in the sky!

[bowlingbun]

I'm supposed to be having a visiting helicopter brother on Sunday. Only because he knows that if he doesn't come and collect his motorbike at mum's house, I'm going to sell it!!!

Hi Bowlingbun
You're right about social services; maybe the search engine would go into melt down as it gets mentioned so much.
When I tried Carers Assesment instead it only came up with 308. But spell assessment properly and that jumps to 4062; a total of 4370.

I wanted to find a common word that has never been on forum. I tried petunias. That got 3.
Busy lizzies got 2; I'm getting there.
Foxgloves got 1; by lazyDaisy Jan 2011. Almost there.
