T-Rex: Hysteria was once thought to originate in the womb ("hystera" is the Greek word for "womb"). This had the nice side-effect of making men immune to it!
Narrator: A HISTORY OF HYSTERIA
T-Rex: It was thought to be caused by the malfunction, or sometimes just the presence, of the uterus. Women were crazy because their wombs were so wacky! People went as far to suggest that women should not be taught, because enlarging the brain would shrink the womb, making them useless as mothers and even MORE hysterical. Treatment sometimes included genital massage!
Utahraptor: You sure know a lot about the history of hysteria, T-Rex!
T-Rex: It's true!
T-Rex: And it's why I never call a woman OR a joke "hysterical". I don't want to be accused of tacitly endorsing historically institutionalized sexism!
Utahraptor: Hah! I might accuse you of that just for fun.
T-Rex: Aw, MAN!
Narrator: T-REX DECIDES TO EXCISE THE "HYSTERA" ROOT ENTIRELY FROM HIS VOCABULARY, JUST TO BE SAFE:
T-Rex: So I hear you're having a minuswomb operation?
Off panel: Excuse me? I'm having a hysterectomy.
T-Rex: Yes! A "uter-b-gone".
T-Rex: A womboval?
