My husband really enjoys some of the medical jargon for different body parts etc that he often hears me and colleagues talking about. Here's some of his favorites:
Medulla oblongata (in the brainstem)
Scapula (he likes to pronounce it sca-poo-la) (it's the shoulder blade)
Supraspinatus (muscle in the shoulder)
Metatarsals (bones in the foot)
Mandible (jaw bone) - Tim likes it in the context of "Mandibles of death"
Meniscus (padding in the knee)
Brachial plexus (bundle of nerves in the neck/shoulder region)

I'm married to a soon-to-be eye doctor, so the words I like are probably related to eyes (although, true be told, I have no friggin clue what they mean).
* Ganglion
* Papilloma
* Sarcoid
* Squamous
* Trypsion
* Zygomatic
If I ever get to name a horse, I think I'll name him Ganglion :)
Ganglion... that's a good one...
