What does "Crashcart" mean? |
|
It's used in reference to Vice President !@#%!@#$. Sorry, this is one piece of slang that I just don't know.

7. well . . . I didn't know that |
|
and thanks . . . but it's a tad bit over the line? no? yes? It hits my sensibilities negatively, or is it my civilities?

A crashcart is used in hospitals; it's supplied with equipment and meds for patients who are in cardiac arrest or the like.

4. It's a reference to all the hardware he has implanted... |
|
... to keep his heart going. A "crashcart" in a hospital is used to get someone's heart started again. Hence, "Crashcart."
Cheers.

...as a fan of medical shows from the Ben Casey and Dr. Kildare days I assume it is the cart that has the defibrallator and cardiac needles/ drugs that they would wheel in in case of a cardiac arrest in the ER.

is roughly the equivalent of a small crashcart, like the ones they use when people have a cardiac 'crash' -- it operates roughly like the paddles they use on a cardiac defibrillator that is rolled around on a cart. Hence crashcart.
