"Interesting".

We all know what it means.
Clients tell me that they never want you to hear that their situation is “interesting”. Leave "interesting" for someone else.
And so it was that I was in pre-op as the anesthesiologist reviewed a potential complication in my case.
“This is interesting”, she said.
I laughed and told her that that was the last thing I wanted to hear.

So glad you came out of it no longer "interesting"!

Words often fail to clearly describe a given situation. "Interesting" has become a convenient catch-all. Boring is good.
