Deoxyribonucleic acid, for anyone wondering
I think you mean deoxyribo and acid.
Deoxyribo&ucleic acid, for anyone sophisticated
Deoxyriboanducleic acid, according to Shadow Radar.
God safe us
Well... deoxyribo and acid. The whole "n" is gone
Well, I'm pretty sure bacteria and others aren't thrilled by the blatant and offensive pro-prokaryote bias on that name.
Yeah we don't use the N word anymore.
Ucleic acid
New band name or refreshing treat?
Nobody decides
Wouldn’t it be Deoxyriboandacid?
Sometimes I take an andacid when my stomach hurts.
More acid ought to do the trick
Ah yes, cue Monocle'd Pooh!
Dicks n ass, for anyone wondering. It’s the male version of tna.
Sure that first one is plural?
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?
All asses are actually the same ass, travelling forward and backward through time.
It's a collective noun
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
Did someone tell these vomnibar people that their name sounds like vomitbar
Or DRNA to anyone in the know.
I get mad every time I think about it that we don't call it DRNA
And?
