..one of our local politician objected to the flu being called swine flu...since it also attacked humans and other animals...that it originated and more prevalent among swines must have escaped his attention...we called it 'selsema babi'.. and i thought the term is direct and to the point...what with the muslim's aversion to the animal..but, of course, if we want to be correct, decorum-wise, we can called it 'selsema khindzer'..if it had oringinate from the cats..then we can called it feline flu...and i thought feline flu has got a nice ring to it...as against canine flu...
..but swine flu sounds a bit sinister, dont you think?
