Lucky me, I was blessed with two grandmas who were always ready to diagnose people with everything from gout to the housemaid's knee (Dadism!). (Personal note: Today is my dad's birthday. Yesterday was the day he passed 18 years ago. Funny how just the phrase 18 years seems so long ago, but I still miss him every day)

Outdated names:

Apoplexy - Stroke

Black dog - Depression

Breakbone - Dengue Fever (I have no idea what either of these is, but I only have two left and I don't think malaria breaks your bones even though dengue is kind of like ague)

Bronze John - Yellow fever (never heard of it, but it makes sense)

Congestive fever - Malaria (50.50.90 applies here)

Dropsy - Edema (FFF: When I was a waitress I dropped a dinner plate and a tray of silverware in the same day and everybody started calling me Dropsy. I told my Gran this and she immediately got concerned that running around all day in a hot restaurant while wearing a tres chic polyester uniform was causing me to retain water...ha!)

French pox - Syphilis

Lockjaw - Tetanus (I realized after looking at the list that tetanus wasn't there, so I guess this is trismis)

Leprosy - Hansen's Disease (aka Getting the Mmmmbops)

Mortification - Gangrene

The Bends - Decompression sickness

Quinsy - Tonsilitis
