I guess with a repulsive word:
Carcinoma "(Gk. karkinos, or "crab", and -oma, "growth") is the medical term for the most common type of cancer occurring in humans. Put simply, a carcinoma is a cancer that begins in a tissue that lines the inner or outer surfaces of the body, and that generally arises from cells originating in the endodermal or ectodermal germ layer during embryogenesis.[1] More specifically, a carcinoma is tumor tissue derived from putative epithelial cells whose genome has become altered or damaged to such an extent that the cells become transformed, and begin to exhibit abnormal malignant properties."
Hmmm...translation... "crab-growth" … guess Teddy could kinda look like that!! Sorry to those who have seen his picture! Not for a full stomach kind of moment. I'll spare the rest of you here...for now :)
"The genome is the entirety of an organism's hereditary information." - Sounds like a garden Gnome with a crab suit...that's my new vision of Teddy!
Note to new supporters: Teddy = Teddy the Tonsil Tumour ... a lot has gone on in the past two weeks so catch up fast.
Next post I shall fill you in on how we came to hear this repulsive word.
