Every body part has a name.

Some of them are silly, like velum and fibula and phalanges and zygomatic arch

Some of them are over before you process them, like foot and chin and pore.

If given the choice between the basic big toe and the scientific hallux

I think you should use the flashier, more ridiculous terminology.

But that’s just me.

This post is part of the A-Z Challenge. My theme is April Scribble, which includes microfiction, small vignettes, and poetry.
