GOK and SWAG

The bain of our existence: charting.  More and more required charting, to the point where it will drive us all insane.  In the interest of collegeiality here are some abbreviations that might help you:  
 
AQR - Ain't Quite Right
Call Button Jockey - patient that uses call button, every few minutes  for no good reason
SALT Same as last time
CTS - Crazier than shit
DQ - Drama Queen
ETOH - Extremely Trashed or Hammered
FMPS - Fluff My Pillow Syndrome (attention/sympathy seeker), like Call Button Jockey
FOS - Full Of Shit
GOK God only knows
Gomergram - Ordering all available tests because the person is unable to explain what is wrong with them
JPS - Just Plain Stupid
PRATFO - Patient Reassured And Told to Fuck Off
LGFD - looks good from door (but not closely examined, possibly an obnoxious patient)
OBS - Obvious bullshit
Urban Outdoorsman - Homeless person
MFC measure for coffin
SWAG scientific wild ass guess
 
Additions anyone?
