No one really knows. Some even say it doesn't exist.

The correct answer is: "I forgot, you should show me."

To be fair, it would be easier if English had kept the English terms for anatomy.

But for some reason everyone decided to only use Latin and Greek derived words.

Like seriously. Nearly every time I look at Wikipedia for anything, English articles only ever use scientific terms hardly anyone will find useful.

Example:

Wolf's entire biological taxonomical tree from species to order. Both the translated German Wikipedia title and the English one:

Species: Wolf <> Wolf

Genus: Wolf- and Jackal-like <> Canis

Tribe: True Dogs <> Canini

Family: Dogs <> Canidae

Suborder: Doglike <> Caniformia

Order: Predatory animal <> Carnivora

Ask someone what "Caniformia" is and most would probably think you're talking about some region on the US West Coast. Ask someone what "Doglike" refers to and most would probably guess reasonably correct.

Carnifornia sounds like a great festival I gotta call up my rancher buds and get this going

Sharing a world with another term with less precise meaning is a bug not a feature

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The fact that the entire medical industry does this. I like how ChubbyEmu on Youtube will do the vocabulary resurrection "Hyponatremia. Hypo meaning low, natra meaning sodium, emia, presence in blood. Low sodium presence in blood" and then he'll use the English phrase for the rest of the video. "Because he had low blood sodium..."

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago (6 children)

The entire medical industry does this so that in every language on the planet they are talking about the same thing and know that they are talking about the same thing and that there hasn't been a translation error. Hyponatremia is hyponatremia no matter what language you speak.

To be fair, the majority of women, who have said bits, don't know what they are either, most seem to think it is all vagina.

"Is it that one over there? I can't really tell since it is not visible with this light pollution. Even though there is only one Libra constellation, you have have been confused by Ursa Major and the Ursa Minor, where some stars are very visible. Oh you said labia."

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"Labia? I don't think that section of the sky is visible this time of year. Or, maybe it's behind the full moon.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago

It’s southern hemisphere for sure

I'm not Jewish, so I don't know much about menorahs in general.

But what if it's all flappy parts?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I see all these stupid boyfriend/stupid husband stuff, and I can't help but think maybe my ex wife was just jealous of her friends that had stupid men in their lives.

And maybe I'm just overqualified for relationships. I mean, shit, that was the advice my brother gave me: "I get along with people because they're much smarter than me." One of the first red flags I remembery ex wife telling me was "you know you don't have to be so smarty all the time."

Ok, no, I can't even lie to myself that well, can you imagine? Being overqualified for dating lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Can confirm, people generally prefer their version of reality over truth and knowledge. Spend a life aquiring knowledge and love teaching people just to learn they don't really love learning how things actually are. Who knew people love to be told they are right, even if that's not the case. X(

Funnily enough, when you are in a situation with someone who you have discussed for example immigration with and someone else more stupid than them starts going off about immigrants and you just start ranting the same shit as them, this seems to get number one suddenly thinking a lot more about how ridiculous you look when you so it.

Know more tricks like this, let me know. ;)

I couldn't tell you the Latin names for my own bits, either.

Edit: that said, I might not know all the street names, but I can still drive you home, and I'm not averse to asking for directions.
