Title: Is "urologist" a good name for penis doctors?
Post by: Pseudoscience-is-malarkey on 23/09/2020 16:28:44
I feel that a title such as "penisologist" would lead to less confusion.

Yeah, I too have wondered why such an unspecific name was chosen (I think I know why...) The word urologist implies (to me) that they specialize in subjects related to urine, or urethras or ureters... but both men and women have these.

Phallologist would make more sense (and is more fun to say)

Of course there's always Dickter  ;)

You guys do know that women go to urologists too, don't you?

I was not aware--but that makes more sense!

The clinic is usually called "Genito-Urinary Medicine", even if the practitioners only use half the title, and soldiers, at least, are apt to refer to the "cock doctor" or even the "willy wallah" when things go wrong. I guess that makes the house pharmacist a GUM dispenser.

I like "penis docto r". Although that would not allow for testicles . Gynecologist is Greek for" women looker" , urologist is about waterworks

urologist is about waterworks
I think it extends to kidneys and adrenal glands

Somewhat off-topic, but Rick Wakeman accepted an award a few years back and quipped that he muddled up the Tippex pot with his liquid viagra capsules... he woke up with a massive correction...

Asked the secret of his political success, Mao Tse-Tung said "No elections".

Not much reason for him to be an awake man then!

A long time ago  my GP rejoiced in the name of Dr Dingle- which isn't a euphemism, but sounds like it should be.

I once tutored a guy named Dick, which is usually an uncontroversial name. His last name, however, was Breath...

I saw a photograph taken in the grounds of some foreign hospital I think it was Malaysia directing the ladies to  the **** department
Your censorship wont let me write the word but it is a common term for female genitalia

I feel sorry for female penis doctors. They see them all the day long, and when they go home the last thing they're interested in seeing is their husband's genitalia...
