    PSA - what does it mean ?

    Of the two definitions I’m familiar with one avoids the inquisitive index finger and the other is “Charlie says never play with matches”.

    On the forum what does the abbreviation PSA mean?

    If this simple question offends then please ignore it.

    It can mean either Prostate-specific antigen or Public Service Announcement, depending on context.

    Someone needs to make a PSA about PSA.

    It usually costs about £20 for a PSA from an experienced member of the forum, £30 if you want them to pretend to be an actual Doctor.

    Every day a school day. I wondered about that just now, and someone else has done the decent thing and dived in front of the bullet..

    i'll add a note to avoid disappointment :) , a PSA test is just a blood test - the one you may/may not want is called a DRE

    In my day PDA meant 'Personal Digital Assistant'. Now it doesn't apparently.

    On a similar note, can someone enlighten me as to the meaning of OTFS ? Keep seeing it in sales corner and am slightly baffled (obviously i get the general idea that the thing in question is up for sale!)

    Off track - for sale, usually meaning that they are trying to offload an unwanted piece of sh**e that has absolutely nothing to do with watches. Shoes for very small people, man Lego for weirdos, out of date hi-fI or broken mobile phones etc.

    Should just use a tat alert heading instead.

    What's the difference between an oral and rectal thermometer?

    The taste.
