How wide is your urethra that a roach can fit up there?
Hey I learned this earlier today! Entomology is so interesting.
So is etymology, and in that earlier comment @GreenKnight23@lemmy.world is technically practicing both.
No it isn't. Cockroach is derived from the Spanish "cucaracha" which comes from "cuca" which means "butterfly caterpillar" and is apparently onomatopoeic in origin.
Also the idea of them crawling into your urethra is a myth like earwigs and ears.
