I don't know if any of my physician colleagues could tell me what an acnestis is..... The rest are commonly used (in descriptions of problems). Of course, in medical school, when the term "anatomical snuff box" was first introduced, almost everyone said: "what is a snuff box? - and for that matter, what is snuff"?
Jerry, usually patients just point to the area of their concern. Or they say: "you know, doc, that little depression above my lip and below my nose". Of course, these days, they also show me photos on their cell phones, like the patient who recently pulled out his cell phone and said: "look how bad my hemorrhoids are"! Yep - they were BAD!

I can imagine him asking someone to take that picture.
That told joke -
"Doctor, my arm hurts when I move it like this."
"Then don't move it like that."

Measuring spaghetti seems to be a scene waiting for a movie.
