truly LoLing after looking up that word.

Medical Definition of Retromingent

Retromingent: Urinating backwards. Also an animal such as a raccoon that urinates backwards.

As in: “You have revealed yourself as a miserable, carping, retromingent vigilante, and I for one am sick of wasting my time communicating with you” (Benjamin C. Bradlee, Editor, The Washington Post).

From the Latin retro- (back) + mingent from mingere (to urinate).

There are some even more interesting definitions in things like “The Urban Dictionary.”

It is such an accurate description I think!

Thanks for the education.

You really are a Fun Gi.

Thank you. A fungus before a fungi; the moniker was never meant to be a “fungus among us.”
