Medical Term of the Day:
Extracorporeal Hydration (ECM). def - When the IV line has fallen out of the vein and the IV fluid is wetting the bedsheets.
ex. Dr. Wang wondered if the continued deterioration in kidney function, despite 125cc/hr IV NS for the seventh straight day could be due to extracorporeal hydration.

I wish I could take credit! But this was actually from one of my attendings.
But on the same note I had a patient sit in the ER with an ST elevation MI receiving an entracorporeal infusion of heparin. Now that's brilliant.
