View Full Version : Hypocrites vs Hippocrates
I see a lot of people calling one another "hippocrate(s)." Now a hypocrite is one who makes false statements or professes beliefs that one does not actually hold. Hippocrates, however, is the Greek physician who layed the foundation for modern medicine. So if you go around calling someone a "hippocrate," I suppose you're calling that person a medical student?

This is a huge pet peeve of mine that I've seen all over the board recently, but I would just feel like too much of an asshole to point it out. Thanks ADF!

For being a bigger asshole than you are willing to be? You're a real flatterer, you are!

if you're gonna start a new thread every time someone on the board mangles the english langauge, you'll be a veteran in no time at all.

I believe this so-called foundation has given way to a brand new "modern medicine". It is truly a disservice to Hippocrates linking him to the medical industry mess of today. :($$$$$$:(

i think were you to call someone a "hippocrate", which probably isn't a real word, you'd say it hip-po-cr-aht, like rhyming with bat...but hypocrites is still said rhyming with slit.
