Word of the Day > Word of the Day: Pseudomamma

Pseudomamma - a false nipple.

On physical examination, the breasts were symmetrical having no nodes or retractions. In the plantar region of the patient's left foot, there was a well-formed nipple was surrounded by areola and hair on the surface, measuring 4.0 cm in diameter, with no palpable nodes. The remaining physical examination was normal, including the mammary line.

Hat tip to jwz.

A nipple on the bottom of your foot is bad enough, but a HAIRY nipple?!? EEEWWWW.

Tam and Kathy: My wife was totally grossed out by it.

Based on an admittedly small sample size, women seem to find it more disturbing than men. If it was pseudopenis on a foot, I'd reckon us guys would the ones who were more weirded out.

Can you say X-Men ? Are we on the way to mutated humans everywhere ? Are the environmental poisons and mutagens we have created at fault ? We shall see...
