Fracture and Phallic

suffered unicortical fracture of right thumb metacarpal head. Translated in layman terms, there is a minor avulsion of covering of the bone of the right thumb. Hand not in plaster but is supposed to be immobile for 2 weeks

In a totally unrelated question I have been trying to find the correct antonym for the word “Phallic”

    Yonic ?

    Hope she recovers as soon as possible – having broken a finger, i know how hard it can be to keep a hand immobile for long periods.

    In a totally unrelated question I have been trying to find the correct antonym for the word “Phallic”

    This led to a google search, and i encountered some new words – interestingly, ‘lingam’ & ‘yoni’ are accepted English words (source: Merriam-Webster), and some people seem to believe that “Yonic” (sic?) should be the antonym of “Phallic”.

  • Re: Yonic ?

    Yes “Yonic” is an option which I found as well, all other like vaginal, pudendal, gyneac sound too clinical

    • ‘Clinical’ or literal …… there doesn’t really seem to be any ‘proper’ antonym for “Phallic”.

      • Surprising – another male chauvinistic conspiracy? 😉

        • 🙂 – well, another manifestation of male chavunism.

  • Vaginal?

    • Goes more with penile rather than phallic

      Oh well you get the idea 🙂
