to introduce people to each other. The bride-to-be, and her fiancée, Dr. Bob. The "bride-to-be" is a woman who will soon get married. You can call me Bob, M.D. The initials for a doctor (Medical Doctor). And the world-famous plastic surgeon, Dr. Larry. :: Cut that out! A "plastic surgeon" is a surgeon who performs operations that improve people’s physical appearance. "Cut that out" is a great colloquial expression meaning "stop it!" What field? In this case, a "field" is a specialization, such as skin, in medicine. Just as well; Boards are killers. :: Actually, Greg aced his MCATs. The "Boards" are the Board Exams or MCATs, which stands for the Medical College Admissions Tests, which all students must take to get into Medical School. "To ace" an exam is to get an A on it, or at least do very well on it (MCATs are graded with numbers, not letters).

An "usher" is a person who helps people to their seats at a wedding, play or other public event. We have a pre-activity briefing in 32 minutes. A "briefing" is an official word for a short meeting to go over plans or the details of a situation. Tell that to Dr. Taquimata, in there with the grand inquisition. A reference to grand inquisitions in history (especially Spain), where people were questioned and even tortured for long periods of time in order to get them to reveal information or admit to a crime. What the hell are you doing here? Added to Wh questions to show emotion such as surprise or anger. Colloquial and common. Were you just sniffing my boxers, dude? "To sniff" is to smell (like a dog).
