I had to google to confirm that, so it does. But it's not a commonly known acronym so I don't think many would get that as a joke.
Yeah I didn't get that one at all. Now I guess I understand what my Canadian flatmate last year was talking about when he spoke about BMs all the time.

fuck you, Tradition Chinese Medicine is not a Quack. Modern Chinese Medicine however.

Someone touch a nerve? There's certainly some real curative benefit behind any of the worlds ancient medical traditions. Be it ancient Chinese medicine, African witch doctors, medieval apothecarists etc... SOME of their "cures" really did have something to them. But this accounts for only a very small fraction of their remedies. The VAST majority of them were just so much mumbo jumbo. You can't cure someone's erectile dysfunction by eating things that look like penises. It may have made sense back in 1100 AD and 1 in 10,000 things you eat that look like a penis MIGHT actually have some benefit for your ED, but that doesn't mean it's not Quack. Sorry it's the truth.

Some type of thermal/chemocline?


Given the rocks and coral in the pic, looks too shallow for a thermal difference great enough to look like that. If I had to guess I'd say that it was fresh water from an underground spring or something, just staying put as fresh water is heavier and there is probably little current there.

Yup, very common in the medical field. I always loved when I wrote this on my chart: 65YO SOB (SOB = short of breath)

yeah it is. and not just in the medical field. Generally, if you speak English, any version of English, BM has only ever meant bowel movement.

When I see BM, I think bookmark, bowel movement isn't even on my radar and I never heard of it being mentioned as BM.
