Guys, I have to ask: If for you Roids = Hemorrhoids, what
did you make of the phrases "Roid Rage" or "Roid Monster"
(the latter is a wrestling term for a grappler known for his
pumped up musculature rather than his skills in the ring)?
Or have you not come across these phrases?

P.S. Perhaps this will establish the alternate meaning of roids
in those with tush on their minds:

Simon Baron-Cohen's (cousin of Sacha) research group has published an
analysis of Danish birth data in this they compared the amount of
several sex
steroid hormones (i.e., testosterone, etc.) in the amniotic fluid of
boys
who went on to develop some form of autism and a matched control
group of normal boys. It appears that boys with autism had much higher
levels of sex steroids than normal boys (all steroids were elevated and
a principal components analysis provides a single "steroidogenic factor"
that summarizes these measures). This seems like an interesting result
but must more needs to be done before hard claims can be made.
The mass media has picked up on this research and one sources is
