assault on (your) biological system

anything that attacks your ability to engage in biological activity, including interference by technological innovations

1. The EKG was an assault on my biological system. I feel as disabled as if I had had a heart attack.

2. The huge wheel rolled down the hill and ran over the plowhand who was tilling the soil with a hoe. If you were the plowhand that would be an assault on (your) biological system.

"You're a W.A.S.P.!!"

"A what?"

"A wasp!"

"What's that?"

The teacher assigns you to write a research paper in literature on: "The Lost Cause Of The South" and you write an excellent paper and you can see that the grade is an 'A', but she hands it "back" to another girl and the other girl gets a prize from DuPont at graduation because she is supposedly so smart.
