1. Sternocleidomastoid
I genuinely love this word. I don't know why, but it literally makes me smile. The good thing is that I will never ever forget where this muscle is. The bad thing is that I can't remember any other muscles.2. Decubitus ulcer
This one's not too weird... until you realize it's just a fancy way of saying "bedsore"3. Necrotizing Fasciitis
Synonymous with "bad fucking day" and also known as an infection of flesh-eating bacteria, necrotizing fasciitis is the only term that replays in my head that actually represents something bad-ass.4. Oogenesis
The process of the creation of ova (eggs... female sex cells). I have to thank Ms. Moore, the best biology teacher in the world for this one, and for calling all things microscopic and living "wee beasties"5. Atelectasis
Sounds like: an awesome metal band, a violent video game, an action movie with gaudy special effects, an edgy new companyReally is: a collapsed lung. Yawn.
