That sounds far fetched until you remember that they diagnosed women with hysteria and treated them by giving them orgasms. When the vibrator was invented to treat muscle pain much later, doctors latched onto them for treating hysteria to give their hands a break.
Absolutely. Hystéra is Greek for uterus. Hysteria, or the “roaming uteri” theory was a successor to Plato’s theory of hysterical suffocation. They believed that the uterus could migrate around the body, placing pressure on internal organs. It’s like gynecological fan fiction.
I couldn’t remember the spelling of the Greek word, so I looked it up yesterday for that comment. I searched “Greek word for uterus” and then wrote Latin in the comment like a dingus.
Not only was Plato Greek, but Latin words that end in “us” are pluralized with an “i.” It was all right there mocking me. Lol
Wasn’t at all mocking! It wasn’t even me who caught it. My GF was like “Hmmm, thats too internet-only-fact” and looked it up. Just passing it along cause I sure as shit didn’t know lol

When pregnant that’s a pretty good explanation of what it does though. Uterus just tells everybody up to the diaphragm to get outta the fucking way.
Greek, not latin
Duh. Uterus is Latin. Thanks. I’ll edit for clarity.
I had to look it up myself lol

No worries! I didn’t take it as such. I meant the comment itself was mocking me. I knew better.
Oh, yeah, that feeling sure is fun… especially when it catches a hyperfixation wave.
I think that makes up for a lot of bad things that were done.
Greek, not latin
I think you responded to the wrong comment
Is your username a modem interpretation of OMGWTFBBQ?
I’m not sure I’ve seen that one, but it does seem to have the same vibe.
