Sentence: Phoebe's "sickies" had her down for just about every known, not so well known and outright fictitious illness and disease known to mankind.

As Monday rolled around too soon, she was about to let her boss know that after calling out the doctor this morning she had been diagnosed with a rather nasty case of toe-stub and needed to rest until Friday evening.

Etymology: Bubonic plague: A rather nasty outbreak of spots. Actually, they seem to look more like boils that cover the whole body and eventually turn you to mush. Phony: not sincere or not real.
