You people do realize that these names wouldn't be unfortunate and/or hilarious if not for the vulgar modern uses of certain words, right?

Do we realize these names are funny because they're vulgar?

Gee no, doc, I thought they were intricate gematric code for the true name of God.

At my office I once dug up a file for someone named Glasscock

That was amusing

In before someone post cocks, pussy, tits and boobies.

I also think it's quite lame to find the animal name funny. They weren't named like that because of the genital organs, it's the other way round.

I actually played one of those electronic 20 questions games and tried to get it to guess dick and it guessed dikdik. I didn't know what the hell it was taking about until a week later when I was watching animal planet.

It's not even that in the case of "breast names". "Tit" had for long been used to describe small animals, while "tit" as breast is a changed spelling of "teat". Booby as in the bird meant a stupid person, while "boobs" as breasts comes from a different word "bubby".

I've been doing research on American black ducks, and the scientific name makes me laugh every time: Anas rubripes. Just seems so wrong.

Lol horny toads are so cute though. They used to be all over my family's land in Colorado, and I'd always catch them and carry them around with me. I named it Horny and I made up a song for it too which basically went like "Hooorny the horny toad! Hoooorney Hoooorney!". Looking back on my childhood is so embarassing sometimes.

The latin name of an American Robin is Turdus migratorius, which I believe means migrating turd.

Yeah, a german etomologist named it during Nazi times, because of his admiration for Hitler.
