The word shrink
you tell the shrink your problems and then they are supposed to ‘‘shrink’’ your problems for you to better understand them, so I read
I don’t mind the name

I would never call one of my psychiatrists that to their face. I make sure I am always polite and respectful as it is essential to have a good rapport with them when you need to make a request regarding treatment.

In Ireland its a slang word used sometimes

I call all my doctors shrinks. No offence intended.

I don’t think anyone would call their pdoc a shrink to their face, it would be wrong and impolite
