Emergency paging euphemisms such as "code call," "blue 100," or "Dr. Ambu" have the potential to become part of the technical vocabulary of medicine through the human tendency to use words creatively; yet this process may occur with considerable diversity of intended meaning, and a loss of precision in speech or thought may result. This study demonstrates that the informal verbification and further etymologic evolution of a paging euphemism at one medical center has resulted in words which mean different things to different users and listeners.
诸如“呼叫代码”“蓝色100”或“安布医生”等紧急呼叫委婉语，有可能通过人们创造性地使用词汇的倾向，成为医学技术词汇的一部分；然而，这一过程可能在意图含义存在相当大差异的情况下发生，并且可能导致言语或思维的精确性丧失。本研究表明，在一个医疗中心，一种呼叫委婉语的非正式动词化及其进一步的词源演变，产生了对不同使用者和听众有不同含义的词汇。
