correct spelling

[Stephanie Coffey]

I work at a family practice and have a word i need help with. How do u spell
pusy-not like pussy cat but pus like substance pusy. Is it pussy or pusy?
Help

[PFPERSONS]

Stehanie,

Those of us with tender sensibilities use "purulent," though there are plenty
of us who see nothing wrong with "pussy." I prefer to former because the
latter just doesn't "read" right IMHO. <G>

Oh Lord.

I am just kidding, dear, just trying to crack a funny. It can go either way.
But if you were going to spell it out, it would be "pussy" just like a pussy
cat. It doesn't look right to me, but if they say it, I write it.

We have argued this point till most of us have quite a bit of facial cyanosis.

Here we go again.

The word is pussy. It is found in Webster's, it is a legit word, and may be
used as dictated regardless of what some people may try to tell you. There are
plenty of words considered "off color" in one arena and perfectly legit in
another. Name for female dog at a breeder's convention or a male rooster at the
county fair, for example.

Look in your handy-dandy Webster's. You will find: pussy - filled with pus or
pus like.

>> Is it pussy or pusy?

Puss-like.

Due you have the option of using another word?
For example..

Pyothorax: puss in the pleural cavity.

or

Purulent: means containing puss
The wound was inflammed, infected and purulent.

Is it puss or pus?????

I also type it "pus-like", never had a comment made about it. But then, I
don't type "the patient peed" either, I type "urinated". (waiting for the same
ESL to say "the patient pooted" instead of "flatulated")

I think that the OCD demon living inside my head MUST point out that it is pus.

At our house, poot is a legal word, f**t is not. I'll type peed (or I did
before I turned over my new leaf) but I didn't type poot, though I've heard it
dictated.

Isn't it nice to know that we are so ahead of the crowd.

Don't act like you are being forced to get on here and help... If you are so burdened by having to explain the spelling of "PUSSY" then don't. More like Here we go again another prick that acts like he is better than everyone because he knows the correct spelling of a substance that he is full of.

OMG
I'm literally online researching this now ...

I had put "pussy" on a chart followed with a slash and the word "weeps" ... I am now the hilarity of the day at the office because of the weeping pussy!! Lololol
