Ever wonder what to call the nameless toes on your feet? The ones between the big toe and the pinky toe? Well, thanks to a 1991 article in The New England Journal of Medicine, all five toes now have proper Latin anatomical names! Ready? They are, from biggest to smallest:
Porcellus fori
Porcellus domi
Porcellus carnivorus
Porcellus non voratus
Porcellus plorans domum
Translation is left as an exercise for the reader.
