There’s just too much in these last several posts for me to contemplate, and “digest” so I’ll meekly say, “Thank all Y’all!”
Just to uphold the high level of discourse you sought, the term is omphaloskepsis for contemplation of one's navel.

I like that attitude - - - you’re definitely in.
Speaking of eating corn, My uncle had a big farm, and he used to feed his cows corn. They could not break it down and passed it out as hole kernels. Then his pigs would pick out the corn from the cow poop, but they could not break it down either and pooped out whole kernels. Then his free range chickens would pick out the corn from the pig and cow poop and they could break it down. My uncle laughed and said he could get three feedings from an ear of corn. Many farmers did the same thing. Remember this when you get "free range chicken" for dinner from the store.

I can spell it, just can’t pronounce it!

I was raised a country boy, but that was never discussed at my dinner table, growing up.
All would probably be funny if I didn’t go through a “ robotic laparoscopic sigmoid resection” a couple months ago 😩😩😩
BTW the rectum and anus are different organs and are about 8 to 10” apart. Just an FYI.

Condolences.
I remember being treated to the sigmoidoscope. A precursor to the buttscope (aka colonoscopy). Just didn't go as far in. Of course I had several colonoscopies also. They put you out for the procedure so it wasn't so bad except that you had to drink a gallon of goo. In later years it was 4 liters of goo. You had your choice of plain or cherry flavored goo. Neither was acceptable. The best thing you could do was to chill it to 32F. (The average refrigerator holds around 40F).
My doctor told me that after age 70 they no longer recommend colonoscopies. Made me very happy.
All I know is God made a mistake making the body, he made the sewage plant to close to the playground.

Say Jack, seems like you are hep on the anus and rectum bit. 😎😎😎
It is true that your mouth is the other end of your anus. This about that one.
