"Words become offensive by the nature of the attention that is paid to them.

"On airplanes, [deep vein thrombosis] can result when passengers sit for too long without moving, which forces the blood to fight gravity on its flow back to the heart. Slow blood flow causes a conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin in the bloodstream, which causes a clot, or thrombus. Cabin pressure, dehydration and long overseas flights add to the risk."
