I respectfully disagree that fentanyl doesn't cause shortness of breath. At least, according to the great fentanyl tester himself, St. George Fentanyl Floyd.

Floyd had a deadly cocktail, including meth and obesity factors.

I know. I’m just pointing out what needs to be done, instead of fomenting war with RUS v UKR.

I believe after we took control of Afghanistan, the poppy yields increased to the highest ever. Funny that...

[Does so]

Our entire military says “nuk-u-lar”.

Football has “DE-fence”.

I agree about phonics.

However, medical drugs are a unique language.

Drug brand names are one full step past language - they are usually the nonsense combination of three or four random syllables.

[Eccl 10:2]

“I think the first thing people who talk about Fentanyl is to learn how to pronounce it. It’s not Fenta-nol. It’s Fenta-nil. Every time I hear it I just hear Nukular.............”

$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Spot on. How people pronounce these is a leading indicator of their IQ and political awareness.

I was going to write this exact post myself.

Thank you.

It was given to my son when he had his wisdom teeth taken out.
His heart rate spiked to 165 and they could not get it down.
So, they rushed him to the hospital a mile away.

The nurse at the emergency room told me they gave him four different drugs. He was released about six hours later. The oral surgeon paid for his trip to the hospital and we did not get a bill for his wisdom teeth.

Mr. Gator, they [the Government, etal.] would do that . But there is one small problem. To wit{ Lying Joe Biden gets his dirty money via the Ukraine dirty money trail. Fauci also has his bio labs there. Where he develops and cultivates pathogens to smuggle World Wide. Both these must be protected by American equipment, including nuclear weapons and American personnel as necessary. Plus the Big Guy gets his cut of everything that comes through there too. And to make sure his interests are protected in Ukraine. He has an army of very vocal and aggressive disciples, the Worship Lying Joe Biden Brigade on Free Republic.com. Anyone and everyone who does not agree with them completely is viciously and relentlessly attacked and called their family names.

I know. It’s good to vent every once in a while. :)

Apparently, I’m a “Putinista” and a Russian agent because I don’t care about RUS v UKR.

I thought I was a USAF Veteran and a Nationalist.
But, people who don’t know me clearly know my motives better...

Excellent article. Glad it was posted. Tells us all a lot about the drug that most of us didn’t know.

Pronouncing it right will go a long way to fix the problem.

more like “nal”

[joe fonebone]

I’ve encountered several of these people you speak of..
There is no reasoning with them..

[Gaffer]

I don’t care whay ‘Cambridge’ says. any word with ‘nyl’ isn’t a ‘nal’ in my book. These word organizations are becoming far too willing to bastardize the language for the sake of uninformed common usage.

[Gaffer]

Why not just go for the street name and do away with it all?

Fent, Fenty, Blonde.....China White....

[BipolarBob]

But, people who don’t know me clearly know my motives better...

Clearly they are mind readers. Also they don't mind peeing away millions and millions of dollars on a stupid war in which we are not involved.

[Gaffer]

Maybe so. The dumbing down of America.

[dynoman]

Like I said, none of this fixes the fentanyl overdose problem.

[Albion Wilde]

Our entire military says “nuk-u-lar”. Football has “DE-fence”.

The entire South has "UM-brell-a" and "AM-byoo-lance."

[JimRed]

Fentanyl is helping rid us of undesirables, isn’t it?
