      That’s a bit of a word salad, but I assume it’s just saying that it’s a coincidental euphemism. Like if a non-English speaker said “Did you know? The English term melon baller literally translates to breast testicler”. It’s not like it’s a high bar.

      So just like the use of the word “nuts” to refer to testicles.

    Orchids are named after testicles.

    More to the point, words have multiple meanings. NdGT is a troll. Huevos means eggs primarily but secondarily means testicles. Ahuacatl means avocado primarily, but had the second meaning too.

    I wouldn’t refer to huevos revueltos (scrambled eggs) as scrambled testicles.

    Dude’s a pedant for science accuracy but little else.

      Dude spread bad misconceptions even in his Cosmos remake. Like saying Rome fell because of lead in the water and saying Giordano Bruno was killed because he was an astronomer.

      I mean, surely other people wrote that stuff and he just read it, but still, if you’re gonna correct tiny things people say (apparently as a job) you’d think to fact check

      Huevos doesn’t mean testicles per say, it’s slang for testicles.

      Like calling a penis a wiener.

    Flowers are basically sex organs. Mushrooms are fungal erections…

    “avocado” sounds like “lawyer” in Spanish: abogado
