I looked it up, too.

The cis- prefix means “on this side”.

In gemetrical isomer nomenclature, the prefix cis- and trans- are used to identify which side of the double bond the similar atoms are found. The cis- prefix is from the Latin meaning “on this side”. In this case, the chlorine atoms are on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond. This isomer is called cis-1,2-dichloroethene.

I guess it means if you like your Weiner you can keep your Weiner..

This one. This one needs to be carved on the 58 gender wall. This is exactly what "Cis" means.

Given what's been said regarding the ACA recently that sounds more like a threat.

Now I'll have to look down the next time I'm at the doc's and he checks me for a hernia.

I vaguely remember the terms “cis” and “trans” from my limited exposure to organic chemistry 40 years ago. I do remember that they had nothing to do with peoples sexual delusions.
