What means....?

Post by Rudar Dimble »

I have a question about the theme from Friends, performed by The Rembrandts

At a certain point they use the abb. DOA (your love life is DOA). Since English is my second (or secondary(???)) language I don't know what this means. I have tried to look it up, but without success. I hope you can help me,

thanx :D

They promised to take our land...
and they took it"

It's a term used by hospital personnel which stands for Dead On Arrival.

Vicsun, I certainly agree with your assertion that you are an unpleasant person. ~Chanak
