Doctor Slang.
BBC published an article discussing the waning usage of abbreviation slang in medical charting and doctor speak. The highlight is this one:'DBI refers to "Dirt Bag Index", and multiplies the number of tattoos with the number of missing teeth to give an estimate of the number of days since the patient last bathed.'

Hey Kyle.
Did you hear about the Chinese Space program launching their latest manned mission yesterday? They will be doing their first space walk. Everything went well according the press report that was posted on the internet. The crew said the launch went perfectly and without a hitch and that they were looking forward to the walk. Too bad the launch hadn't happened before the news article got posted...
Cheers
Ed
