AYG

I like Steph. She mods on the mpls board and I've never seen any issues on there. At the risk of getting my face chewed off, maybe some peeps are taking what happened on a message board a little bit too seriously.

Yeah exactly. Clinical depression isn't an actual type of depression it's just a phrase generally used to describe diagnosed depression disorders.

[QUOTE]I think I'm way in the minority, but I don't get nit picky-ness in general. I don't care if someone says they're depressed because they can't go shopping or something because it has no effect on me. They can label themselves however they want. I just kind of feel sorry for people if they get so upset over things like that. Life is too short. And I'm with sesh. I don't give two fuucks about whether they are called child molesters, pedophiles or space truckers. I don't want them near me. Sorry, Jess. You know I love you. This is just one of those things for me.

Agreed. Not just here though, but people in general.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: AYG : This. In some Hispanic cultures and even some Italians, it's considered bad luck to call your child "pretty" or "skinny" so you say the opposite. My babysitter growing up was an Italian immigrant and she used to look and me and say "faccia brutta!" which means ugly face, she was actually telling me I was cute. Or my FI's Nonna called her "fea" which is ugly in Spanish which was her calling her beautiful. Her family also thinks calling a baby fat is a compliment, that they're healthy and well taken care of. I know it sounds weird, but it's a cultural thing. ETA: Either that or my babysitter thought I was busted.

This is true. My Italian family always calls pudgey babies fatties, or rollypollies. However, if a child is indeed overweight or a person that is overweight they'd NEVER call them a fatty. We also call them canolis, sacchetties, etc. The opposite nicknaming is true as well. I forget the Italian word for it but my great grandmother basically used to call me mis-matched face....implying I was beautiful.

Ugh, Missy, clearly you mean the DSM-IV-TR. You're a little outdated.

Oh, I totally agree with this. I think "clinically depressed" is an accurate specifier that most people recognize as meaning that someone has been professionally diagnosed and treated, as you said. I just think that's different than "I have clinical depression," because clinical depression is not a thing, and I think in that case saying "I have depression" gets the job done just fine. Aaaaand now I'm nitpicking. ;) Sorry, I can't help it!
