Okay.... I hope this doesn't offend anyone.... (please don't yell at me)...

BUT, since I live in the DC area here, we have one of our own sayings here... (both the poilce and fire use this term) and we joke on CAD about it...

DWA - Driving While Asian

I live in Cali and we have the same saying along with HP-hispanic panic. I don't think its racist or makes someone a bigot when you notice social or ethnic trends. We have stereotypes for a reason, people fit them.

Sorry, had to get that out. Back to acronyms!

It's not the same when you can't type out the last word!

QueenEmt,

why would you post something that you know ahead of time will offend somebody...

everyone can make a mistake, so perhaps you could apologize to anyone you may have offended...

I hope you're all kidding. Having many asian friends, and witnessing some quality (sarcasm-dripped for extra taste) asian driving, we can all (my [asian] buddies and I) agree that DWA is a chronic condition of any multicultural urban centre.




Oh, and an acronym that was homegrown in my service for our more bull:censored::censored::censored::censored: calls:

BBC - Big Baby Call (I know it's way more PC than a lot of these, but it works for us)
