I've long noticed a live-action version of that sort of thing, on TV's "ER", where they invariably refer to gunshot wounds as "G.S.W." (e.g. "19 year old male, G.S.W. to the chest.")
The show seems to be pretty accurate with terminology, so it wouldn't surprise me if that non-brief abbreviation is actually used in real life too.
God, the fight would be over in the time it would take me to yell that battle cry.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but Batman's used to it: he used to call Wonder Woman "W. W.", for pete's sake, which takes longer to say than "Wonder Woman."
