Fun with disability (no, really!)

prydera for pointing me to this site--BBC online's disability community, Ouch!.
I am a fan of slang and argot, especially rhyming slang, so this cracked me up:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/ouch/play/topten/rhyming.shtml
And all I can say is, rubber and plastic? Sounds . . .interesting.
Reminds me of a conversation I had at Balticon 2003 (yes,nightstalker, we were talking about you):
Jica: I met a guy that gives really great massages.
Dr. Mom: Oooh. Did you let him touch you where you're spastic*?
Jica (scandalized): Um, no.
Dr. Mom: Why not?
*where I'm spastic = right arm and leg. Hence, anti-spasticity massages require lying down. Although by this point, I'd be quite likely to command a massage from my dear, perverted big brother, I'd just met the guy. And I was already in enough trouble that weekend. . .I was involved in a four-way marriage, for heaven's sake!
