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

    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.

    Eptifabatide. My favorite drug name and people have a hard time with that p to t transition apparently, but it rolls off the tongue for me. Abciximab is another good one, but I’m pretty sure someone just wanted a name to start with ABC.

    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).

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

    I’ve always thought “hemoglobin,” “ankylosing spondylitis,” “rectocele,” and “postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome” were fun to say. There’s definitely more medical words I like, but I’ve got mad brain fog, so I’m not able to come up with much at the moment. Which is a major bummer!

    Echolalia

    Or vagina. I really like vagina, and the word vagina.

    But echolalia is more fun to say. It’s like tintinnabulation or brobdingnagian in that regard, despite being shorter. But the sound of the word works so neatly with the meaning of the word.

      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.

    Idk if it’s medical or more psychological but the term for when your hear a word so many times it loses meaning is one of my favorite phrases in the English language.

    Semantic satiation
