Glad to see a new label that doesn't disparage pigs or other service animals. Did you overhear "heiny virus" or "hiney virus"? Is this politically correct and not Anti-German or even homophobic.

I didn't ask them to spell it.

I've just been referring to it as getting "swined up," as in "Hmm. Chet isn't coming into the office today, because he's swined up."

#2: "Is it swine flu?"
#1: "No. S'wine flu."
