Paws' Word of the Day
ORCHIDECTOMY
Also referred to as Gelding, Neutering, Castration and Orchiectomy, in which a biological male loses the use of the testicles.
It should not be confused with Penectomy which refers to the whole or partial removal of the penis.
-------------------------------------------------------
The use of the term "orchid" in the word is a perfect metaphor for the the condition it refers to. I mean, just imagine how an orchid looks like.... interesting, isn't it?
Let's just say it's a word I'll remember for long, long time. Unfortunately, situations to demonstrate the use of my newly learnt word is unfortunately few and far in between.
