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.

I recently figured out you can arrange the letters of this word to make a Letter Boxed puzzle:

  P G A

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.
