placenta - a layered cake. It’s kind of gross to compare a layered cake with the structure/organ/whatever developed in pregnancy, but eh.

Oh, is that why people looked at me weird when I started talking how delicious a good placenta is?

ānus - it was supposed to be any ring. Not just “that” one. (…ānus dēlendus est!)

Julia... will you marry me? [presents anus as she tears up and nods]

But by far the weirdest one IMO is neither native to Latin nor borrowed, it’s inherited: Romanian “a dezmierda” to caress, to pet. It’s etymologically “to disenshittify”. As in, you got some baby, baby did #2, you need to take care of it, right? It’s gross and cute at the same time.

lmao
