Deoxyribo&ucleic acid, for anyone sophisticated

Deoxyriboanducleic acid, according to Shadow Radar.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah we don't use the N word anymore.

Ucleic acid

New band name or refreshing treat?

Nobody decides

Wouldn’t it be Deoxyriboandacid?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sometimes I take an andacid when my stomach hurts.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

More acid ought to do the trick

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Ah yes, cue Monocle'd Pooh!

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sure that first one is plural?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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.

Um ok... Then why is ass singular?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

It's a collective noun

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I think you mean deoxyribo and acid.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Or DRNA to anyone in the know.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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