Mine is 'pearly penile papules' as it sounds like a fancy magic spell.
Lol as a medical person myself, reading all the comments her is so hilarious and refreshing. Gives me different perspective.
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.
"Endocannabinoid system". It makes us sound like we just evolved a system specifically for processing THC.
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.
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).
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
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.
metacarpals cuz it sounds like some shit a european philosopher from the 19th century wrote a 2000 page thesis on.
