Okay all you word freaks, from the same profession that brought
     you FLATUS for the simple act of passing gas comes a list of
     words you can use in everyday conversation to amuse/amaze/confuse
     your friends (or enemies of course).  Ready for your tour through
     the world of medispeak?

     Bradykinetic   BRADY-KIN-ETIC   Moves like a turtle
     Callipygian    CAL-IH-FIDGEON   Nicely shaped buttocks
     Coprolith      COP-ROW-LITH     Hard, dried feces!

                                     lalorrhea)
     Lalorrhea      LAL-O-RIA        Excessive flow of words
     Macromastia    MACRO-MAST-YA    Large breasts
     Macrophallic   MACRO-FALICK     Large male organ
     Micromastia    MICRO-MAST-YA    Small breasts
     Microphallic   MICRO-FALICK     Small male organ
     Phallodynia    FAL-O-DIN-YA     Pain in the penis
     Pneumocephalic NEW-MO-SEFALICK  Air Head
     Proctodynia    PROC-TO-DIN-YA   Pain in the ass (ex. You are
                                     proctodynic!)
     Steatopygian   STE-ATO-FIDGEON  Fat ass

                                             mouth and colon

     Well enough for now, try these in the workplace.  How much nicer
     to describe the new secretary as macromastic (or, for the ladies,
     macrophallic) and callipygian instead of using the vernacular.
     Perhaps you might even get the opportunity to spend some time
     telling her (him) what it means.  Assuming of course that they
     are not Pneumocephalics!
