2. Or the total opposite, and you feel like a criminal mastermind

1. When you think you got away with one, and then you’re called out:

10. Scapegoat
Today’s meaning: A person who is blamed for the mistakes of othersReal goats may be saddened to learn the origins of “scapegoat,” which was birthed in an ancient Hebrew tradition. Yom Kippur was a day of atonement and the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Made from the Hebrew words for “goat for Azazel,” “scapegoat” was first used in 1530 by William Tyndale. In Tyndale’s English translation of the Bible, the word “Azazel” only appears in the context of one particular Jewish ritual. Cutting it into two words, Tyndale translated it as “the goat which escapes” or “escape goat.”Heeding the ritual was a way for the Israelites to be absolved of their sins, and it started with two goats being presented to the high priest. After the presentation, one was given as a sacrifice to Jehovah and the other was saved for a special purpose. Every one of the sins of the people were placed on the head of Azazel’s goat before it was led out into the wilderness. Like an unwanted child in a Brothers Grimm tale, the goat was simply abandoned away from civilization—according to some historians. It was much more likely that the goat was led to the edge of a cliff and “encouraged” to jump off. (The Hebrew word Tyndale translated as “escape” is more commonly translated as “go away forever.”)
9. White Elephant
Today’s meaning: Something that costs more than it’s worthComing from the kingdom of Siam (modern-day Thailand), this phrase was birthed from the customs of the Siamese kings. When the king took offense at something someone said or did, he didn’t leap straight to an execution. Offended but fair, he would grant the victim a gift, a symbol for the country itself: a white elephant. The offender was unable to refuse the gift, as doing so was equivalent to treason. Why would someone refuse such a lavish gift? Because taking care of the elephant would likely make the offender go bankrupt.The introduction of the phrase into the English lexicon was hurried by the famous showman and circus owner P.T. Barnum. One of the first to bring one of the venerated animals out of the country, he introduced it to a rapt public desperate for the exotic. None of the spectators were happy when they discovered the elephant presented to them was light gray instead of white. Barnum himself knew they weren’t supposed to be milky white and worked to dispel the myth that they were.

8. Running Amok
Today’s meaning: A sudden assault against people or objects; out of controlSeen today as a genuine psychiatric condition found in nearly every culture on the planet, the phrase, as well as the idea itself, comes from the tribesmen of the Malay people in the 1700s. Excused as a curse laid down on someone by malevolent spirits, a person who was running amok would often be unable to reason, harming everything within reach until subdued. Sadly, the sufferer was often killed in the process.In the 1770s, one of the earliest Western depictions of the ailment was given to us by the British explorer James Cook, who wrote about an episode he witnessed firsthand. The psychosis often resulted in the maiming of multiple victims and occurred without warning, cause, or target. The word itself derives from the Malay word mengamok, which roughly translates as “to make a furious and desperate charge.”

7 Gadzooks
Today’s meaning: An exclamation of surprise or annoyance“Gadzooks” is an expression known as a minced oath, meant to allow Christians to avoid taking the Lord’s name in vain. The English Parliament actually passed a bill in the early 1600s to make it a fineable offense to “profanely speak the holy name of God.” It didn’t take long for Christians of the time to find ways around the fine. Eventually, “God” was changed to “gad” or “od” when combined with other words to make this easier.The word “gadzooks” was the euphemistic form of the phrase “God’s hooks,” itself a reference to the nails or spikes that held Christ to the cross. Yet another phrase is “odds bodkins,” similar to “gadzooks,” with it taking the place of “God’s body.”
6 Add Insult To Injury
Today’s meaning: To make a bad situation worseUltimately derived from Aesop’s fable “The Bald Man and the Fly,” this phrase finds its origins within the translation of the Roman writer Phaedrus, who lived in the first century AD. In the story, a fly bites a bald man on the head. When the man tries to swat the fly, he strikes himself in the head and wounds himself mortally. As the man lies dying, the fly flits in circles above him and taunts him, condemning him for making himself look bad and for killing himself. In other versions of the story, the man lives but still suffers the indignity of having the fly mock him. (The original fable, perhaps the strangest surviving version, has the man hit the fly and then insult himself.)Unfortunately for Phaedrus, the Roman emperor Sejanus objected to his writings, claiming they painted him in a derogatory light. Neither the exact punishment, nor Phaedrus’ fate, has ever been discovered, but one theory is that he was exiled and continued to write while suffering his punishment.
5 Between A Rock And A Hard Place
Today’s meaning: Having to choose between two undesired optionsA phrase similar in meaning to “between a rock and a hard place” has existed since the fourth century BC. The exact phrase is much newer, only dating to the 20th-century US. Coined by miners, it then referred to choosing between unemployment and strenuous, low-paying work at the mine. Those miners probably didn’t know the phrase originally came from the Greek poet Homer. In the epic poem The Odyssey, Odysseus and his men have to travel through the Straits of Messina, an area of the sea guarded by two fearsome monsters: Scylla, a monster with six mouths and 12 feet, and Charybdis, either a sea monster who produced a whirlpool or simply a whirlpool itself. Opting for either one was sure to result in death, for at least some of the crew, so the phrase “between Scylla and Charybdis” came to mean having to choose the lesser of two evils.
4[b]Bust One’s Chops[/b]
Today’s meaning: Call one’s bluff; criticize someoneIn the 1800s, when sideburns (and Ambrose Burnside) were at the height of their popularity, this phrase was often used as a challenge to someone’s integrity. The phrase fell out of popular usage around the start of World War I, as men needed to shave the sides of their faces in order to accommodate protective gas masks.As a phrase, it was not only to be taken figuratively, “bust one’s chop” was also to be taken literally. A “bust to one’s chops” could reference a punch to the side of one’s face. Thanks to the popularity of sideburns between the 1950s and the 1970s, and men like Lemmy, the phrase made a brief comeback before fading into relative obscurity today.
3 Give The Cold Shoulder
Today’s meaning: To disregard someoneAlthough its true origins are unclear, the earliest written evidence of this phrase comes from the writings of Walter Scott, a Scottish poet and novelist who lived in the 18th and 19th centuries. Though his work never mentions food or gives any indication as to its origin, it is believed that it derives from an earlier phrase “to give the cold shoulder of mutton.”The older phrase was used with an unwanted guest in another’s house. To save face or to avoid an awkward conversation, the host might serve an inferior cut of meat (cold mutton, for example) to indicate to that particular person they were not welcome any longer.

2[b]Basket Case[/b]
Today’s meaning: A person or thing unable to handle their situation; a crazy personUsed in the US as far back as 1919, the phrase finds its origins in war. Most of the earliest uses refer to a person who had all four of their limbs amputated, indicating they were “stuck in a basket,” with some feeling this was literal. Despite the repeated denial by military officials of the existence of any soldiers who were actually stuck in baskets, the rumor persisted for a number of decades.The modern meaning came to us years later, possibly as early as the late 1940s. But the modern meaning is just a natural evolution of the phrase. As someone with their limbs amputated would be unlikely to be able care for themselves, it would stand to reason neither would a person with severe mental difficulties.
1. In Stitches
Today’s meaning: Laughing uncontrollablyThe Immortal Bard, Shakespeare, coined many phrases, but we’ve picked just one. Derived from a phrase from his time and first used in the play Twelfth Night, “to be in stitches” means to be in such pain from laughter that you feel like you’re being poked by a needle. Even with Shakespeare’s help, the phrase faded from use.Surfacing again in the 1900s, it had transformed from its original phrasing, “laugh yourself into stitches.” Though not as common today as it was in the 20th century, “in stitches” or “had me in stitches” is now common parlance. Shakespeare’s credits also include “break the ice,” “brave new world,” and “bated breath.” These are just a few of the more than 1,700 words and phrases we can thank the Bard for introducing.

Any body coming in for medical rehabilitation here?

Just like other areas of
healthcare, physiotherapy has
evolved over the years and
continues to evolve –
overcoming professional
challenges, announcing new
breakthroughs even as new
obstacles gradually emerge
thus making stakeholders to
become interested about its
present and curious about its
future. In this exclusive guest
post, Physiotherapist
Adandom Israel attempts to
predict the future of
physiotherapy in Nigeria…
Predicting the
future of
physiotherapy in
Nigeria does not
only look at what
is tenable in the
occident and
orients but what
the demands of
a health care
profession so
virgin is
expected to
yield when
viewed in
circumduction
through a sage’s
eye.
It is obvious that for physiotherapy, the future
can only be successfully boundless with the rising
demands of non-communicable diseases (NCDs)
on the health of humanity. The post millennium
development goals have placed a huge emphasis
on non NCDs and the medical journal of Australia
have in a publication in 2009 titled “Back pain: a
National Health Priority Area in Australia?’’
pointed out the need for increased attention to
the rising trend of NCDs. With the ever advancing
field of preventive medicine, physiotherapy has
not slept in proffering advances in preventive
medicine ranging from pediatric to geriatric group
of patients.
Academically, the future has the incipience of
systems geared towards producing highly
research sound professionals. The system is
meant to be proficient to offer programs that are
offered in the developed countries and in
advanced standards compared to where we are
now. More institutions are expected to start
offering a degree in physiotherapy, the curriculum
is expected to tweak from BMR (PT) or BPT to
DPT with emphasis of training geared towards
producing professionals who can carry out
investigations and proffer evidence based
treatments in the presence of impairment,
disability and handicap, rehabilitation science is an
ever advancing branch of medicine and
physiotherapy having a huge role to play in
rehabilitation should be able to boast of sizable
number of quality active researchers. This can
only be tenable with more institutions beginning to
offer such programs relevant in rehabilitation
science like biomechanics, kinesiology,
neuroscience, biomedical engineering, exercise
physiology etc.
Nigeria is expected to have metamorphosed into
an era where institutions offer PhD programs in
specialized areas of physiotherapy. A professor
of neurological physiotherapy supervising
passionate researches in neurological
physiotherapy is better than a professor of
physiotherapy placed to supervise such
candidates.
Physiotherapy (abbreviated PT) started as a
clinical profession first with the demands for
rehabilitation of war veterans, then it was just
therapy and no diagnosis. Today we know about
“physiodiagnosis” leading to a call I once made in
my articles for a change to a befitting name. A
good diagnosis cannot be over emphasized in
making a good clinical judgment. It is true that
even the best treatment protocol is flawed by a
wrong diagnosis. Since physiotherapy is leaving
and with time in the future will entirely leave
playing majorly the therapy role, the breed of
clinicians for the future are such that could
competently conduct investigations, order for
examinations and make a good diagnosis based
on his/her findings.
The future throws light to a structured clinically
oriented and passionate professional whose
training keeps him, independent and inter and
intra functionally sound. A structured clinical
program should involve starting a residency
immediately after NYSC, going through the
envisaged National Postgraduate Physiotherapy
College of Nigeria (NPPCN). Clinicians becoming
consultants in one or more of the seven
specialties outlined in the college blue print.
Special clinical programs for clinicians with
passion for more specialization oriented clinicians
like the doctor of science (DSc) would have been
made available here in Nigeria.
Dr. Shirley Sahrmann has pointed out an annual
physical examination conducted by the
physiotherapist. She puts in her very own words;
‘’we go to the dentist twice a year and spend
thousands to straighten our teeth, and all we do
with them is to eat and talk. Meanwhile the rest
of our body’s is just hanging out there’’. People
think PT as something generic their doctor orders
after injury, she says, but by analyzing the way
you walk, bend, sit and carry yourself, physical
therapists can prevent injuries and head off
future surgeries and chronic pain.
I have asked a friend if a physical therapist is a
physical therapists because they use physical
means for diagnosis and treatment, who uses
spiritual means in the science of health care. A
physical therapist is defined by his aim of
intervention as the science of physical therapy
has so broaden, leaving behind the old obsolete
philosophy. The future speaks of a
physiotherapists as a health care professional
whose interest in his patient/client is that he stays
healthy to be mobile in disease, health and
through senescence. The way he does or
achieves his aims defines 20-30% of his job
description and contributes majorly to differentiate
him specifically from fellow professionals like the
osteopath, the chiropractor, the orthopedic
surgeon et al. If a physiotherapist deems it fit to
administer drugs, like is obtained in the United
Kingdom and Australia, in a view to not just
relieve pain, but to get his patient moving, he
does not seize from being a physiotherapist
because his focus was primarily not to relieve
pain but to get his patient/client moving.
Some studies have reported no difference in
physical therapists and orthopedic surgeons
heading orthopedic outpatient clinical settings. This
puts physiotherapists on the road to first contact
in Nigeria where a patient reports to the general
outpatient department and is assessed and
screened by a consultant orthopedic physical
therapist as is tenable in the United States of
America.
In predicting the future of physiotherapy, it can
only be said that, the future has a boundless
bountiful proposal of burden of health care and
job satisfaction for physiotherapists.
