Deoxyribonucleic acid, for anyone wondering

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 185 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Deoxyribo&ucleic acid, for anyone sophisticated

[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Deoxyriboanducleic acid, according to Shadow Radar.

[–] lakemalcom10@lemm.ee 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah we don't use the N word anymore.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week 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 1 week ago

Ucleic acid

New band name or refreshing treat?

Nobody decides

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wouldn’t it be Deoxyriboandacid?

[–] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sometimes I take an andacid when my stomach hurts.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

More acid ought to do the trick

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Ah yes, cue Monocle'd Pooh!

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

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure that first one is plural?

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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 1 week ago (2 children)

Um ok... Then why is ass singular?

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago

It's a collective noun

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or DRNA so anyone in the know.

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

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

[–] madthumbs@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

I think you mean deoxyribo and acid.
