Honk
 n.— «If that doesn’t control their pain, we (perhaps uncharitably) say they “failed two rounds.” When admitting such a “sickler,” we have to decide whether to send them to “Gens,” the , or “Honk,” the hematology-oncology service. (People with heart , of course, go to “Cards.”)» —“Doctors’ Lingo That You Speechless” by Jenny Blair Hartford Courant (Connecticut) May 28, 2006. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
