Speaking of Testicles….

Most of you eat them for lunch

If we, the writers of the MuddyUm publication are nothing else, we are the forefathers and foremothers of the Testicle tag.

We are pioneers. We are the keepers of the tag.

As Susan Brearley, our fearless editor pointed out once upon a time, if you invent a MuddyUm tag that didn’t preexist, you basically own it. And if we own it we must help it’s name live on. So here we go.

You may not be as enlightened as I am, because I recently got to spend a week on bed rest, watching Netflix documentaries. This makes me qualified and certified to make bold statements about all the things.

Did you know?

The word AVOCADO is derived from an Aztec Indian word meaning TESTICLE.

I know, I was surprised too because I eat roughly four of them a week. And that doesn’t even account for any sexual activity. I just open the fridge.

Profound right?

You can thank me later for the party trivia I just supplied you with.

It isn’t clear whether the name reference is due to the shape of the avocado or the fact that it was considered by the Aztecs, to possess aphrodisiac qualities.

Either way, when you’re dipping those nachos in guacamole, you’re actually dipping them in testicle sauce.

Bring THAT tidbit to your next party.

And now, I would like to thank all the keepers of the tag who have so fearlessly upheld its name. And I’m not tagging these people to be a pain in the ass, I actually want to thank them for answering the call to action way back when I asked for articles about testicles, listicles, popsicles, testimoniacles, etc.

Justine Reed, you reign supreme.

James Knight, you already know everything.

Shelly McIntosh, say hi to Xander and his missing testicles.

Meaghan Ward, I know your adventures involve more than just opening a fridge.

And last but certainly not least, Kent Leatham, who invented the word “testimoniacle.” Turns out he writes a lot about those nether parts.
