Deoxyribonucleic acid, for anyone wondering

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 188 points 3 weeks ago

Deoxyribo&ucleic acid, for anyone sophisticated

[-] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 48 points 3 weeks ago

Deoxyriboanducleic acid, according to Shadow Radar.

[-] lakemalcom10@lemm.ee 22 points 3 weeks ago

Well... deoxyribo and acid. The whole "n" is gone

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yeah we don't use the N word anymore.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Well, I'm pretty sure bacteria and others aren't thrilled by the blatant and offensive pro-prokaryote bias on that name.

[-] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ucleic acid

New band name or refreshing treat?

Nobody decides

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Wouldn’t it be Deoxyriboandacid?

[-] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Sometimes I take an andacid when my stomach hurts.

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

More acid ought to do the trick

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ah yes, cue Monocle'd Pooh!

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 20 points 3 weeks ago

Dicks n ass, for anyone wondering. It’s the male version of tna.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

Sure that first one is plural?

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It's a gay term, and when gay men have sex, there is usually more than one dick. It's a play on TNA, which is plural too.

There is a gay magazine called DNA, a play on the fact that it may be genetic. we all know what they really mean.

But, sure, in a straight monogamous relationship, there may be a singular. Broaden your mind to other possibilities.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Um ok... Then why is ass singular?

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 weeks ago

All asses are actually the same ass, travelling forward and backward through time.

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 0 points 3 weeks ago

It's a collective noun

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Or DRNA to anyone in the know.

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

I get mad every time I think about it that we don't call it DRNA

[-] madthumbs@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I have this acronym finder as a search engine shortcut in vomnibar. It never has what I'm looking for:

Department(al) Network Administrator Datanetwork Associates (Software) Does Not Apply

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Did someone tell these vomnibar people that their name sounds like vomitbar

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

I think you mean deoxyribo and acid.
