Mine is ‘pearly penile papules’ as it sounds like a fancy magic spell.

      Oooh, good call! It totally does. I bet a Toxic Megacolon show would have a wild and kickass mosh pit.

    Mine is Omentum.

    I went to med school for a grand total of one semester before I realized it wasn’t for me. But during that semester I went through Gross Anatomy in which you dissect a cadaver bit by bit over the course of (IIRC) 8 weeks. Anyway in the abdominal cavity lies the greater omentum, a yellow net-like contraption that basically spans the stomach & intestines. It’s super cool looking, probably my favorite structure I encountered in gross anatomy.

    My least favorite thing about gross anatomy - other than that one really stinky cadaver - was Netter. Oh my god I felt like that text became an extension of my body, I was never not buried in it, along with so many lists of mnemonics. I still remember the mnemonic Roman Togas Don’t Cover Balls to name the parts of the brachial plexus (Roots, Trunks, Divisions, Cords, and Branches).

      Ah, I’ve never encountered anyone else using the latter.

      Did you know that Brad Pitt claims it?

      edit: So do I, in case anyone thinks I’m being disparaging.

    My words are taken so imma do a phrase

    “FECAL VOMITING”

    Like many others, could be a band name. Grindcore, probably. I imagine one of the worst experiences to go though. Vomiting is already terrible… butt now there’s shit.

    Any of the big compound medical words are fun to say and construct IMO. Adrenocorticotropic, deoxyribonucleic, those kinda words. They seem big and scary but they’re quite descriptive and once you know the “formula” behind them it’s not too bad. Maybe not the most fun words but I feel good every time I can use one and deploy it like it’s no big deal (ie my mouth doesn’t fuck it up). It’s like executing a big combo with your mouth.

    Codons. It reminds me of how I was, and still am a biology student by heart. Life happened, and I was forced to pick CS. Other words that I like is bacteriophage, prions and Adenosine Tri-Phosphate.
