                       emphatically nothing, goat droppings)!"

                       said, 'For this you became a doctor?" They said, "From this you

                       application?"

                       (stinking, contemptible) virus, and I still can't get it to grow. It
                       hits me right in the kishkes (intestines, guts)."
