Similar to the meme... godamn did they fuck up by not holding geneticists to something close to... SOME standard naming.

Dated a maternal fetal medicine specialist. She'd come home being like "you ever have to explain to someone they have a mutation in the 'sonic the hedgehog' gene of their kid?!" If you're familiar with what it does in fruit flies (when it was named), it's fucking horrific in humans. Don't google it.
