Anus Platyrynchos
Anus Aucklandica
Anus Tyrhynchos
Anus Wyvilliana
Anus Domesticus

Anus Laysanemis (lazy nemis?!!)
Anus Superciliosa (supercilious?? super silly ass!?) lmao!
Anus Rubripes (rub? rub ripes??) auuuughhhh!!
Anus Undulata (undulate... what??)
Anus Acuta (a cute a anus??)

Anus Ignitus !!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

However, as funny as it is, when I googled it (because I just couldn't believe my eyes), I found out most reputable sites preferred the spelling "Anas" as opposed to "Anus".

Anas.
Heheheh. It's still close though, I suppose. =D

Dang, and to think I was considering some duck for dinner tomorrow... now I'll have to eat something that doesn't make me giggle throughout the meal.

practically a bird of paradise! (now dip your toes in green and your beak in orange, and you'll be totally undisputed!)

[featherhawk.livejournal.com]

You know, though, that "A" in latin is an "ah" sound, like in father.

Still fun, though.

hehheh... thanks, feathery :>

After all these years of not knowing just how to say Uranus without initiating chitters from the audience (YOO RAY NUS is just as bad as URINE US.. eeesh!) ... now thanks to youse, I am finally liberated into a useful outlet of capable elocution...! *wags!* (not an outlet of electrocution) ;>

OOO RANNUS does the trick without offending anyone, and fits right in with your pronuciation corrections... yay!! *hugs ye* :9
