“Kevin is not a name - it’s a diagnosis!”

The name Kevin was perceived as being linked to especially poor behaviour and performance, with one study participant even writing that, “Kevin is not a name - it’s a diagnosis!”

thought you might get a kick out of it. The 'it's a diagnosis' thing would be amusing with any name, hell, it could be used for just about anything...

Female isn't a gender - it's a diagnosis!
or (to abuse both sexes equally)
Testosterone isn't a hormone - it's a diagnosis!
or even
Toddler isn't a childhood stage - it's a diagnosis!
I may even have to have some toddler sized shirt with that on them!
