A friend of mine was so overwhelmed with work that during their thesis/project presentation, they started saying "my teacher, ducks, ducks... there are ducks everywhere" in front of the teachers. It was clear that this wasn't a joke, so they were taken to the hospital right away. We used to say "ducks, ducks" when we were working too hard and it was a way of expressing how we were feeling.

Arthritis is a disease that causes pain and stiffness in the joints. In the past, it was common to read about a famous person who had fainted and had a surmenaj (a type of medical treatment) in a magazine every weekend. We couldn't read a newspaper or magazine without seeing someone with arthritis. Fortunately, we have moved past this, but now people with arthritis often say, "Oops, I'm in pain."

There is a story about something that happened at Met³ Makine, a department known for being very difficult. A student was very focused on child visas and worked very hard. On the day of the exam, the student was given a paper and when they looked at it, they suddenly jumped up from their seat, waving their arms and shouting that they knew all the answers. They were eventually taken to the hospital.
