Deoxyribonucleic acid, for anyone wondering
Deoxyribo&ucleic acid, for anyone sophisticated
Deoxyriboanducleic acid, according to Shadow Radar.
Well... deoxyribo and acid. The whole "n" is gone
Yeah we don't use the N word anymore.
Well, I'm pretty sure bacteria and others aren't thrilled by the blatant and offensive pro-prokaryote bias on that name.
Ucleic acid
New band name or refreshing treat?
Nobody decides
God safe us
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?
I think you mean deoxyribo and acid.
