Doctors refer to the big toe as the "great" toe.

Excema is more of a rash like psoriasis. Pitted keratolysis is when bacteria eats into the skin, causing pits.

What's meh?

All the pics with man-made stuff are harmless to me.

Wood is not man made, so it has a good chance of skeeving me out.

― buffandmaxsmom, Saturday, 4 June 2011 00:33 (fifteen years ago)

buffmom, do you mean "to what do you refer to as being 'meh'"? or "what does the word 'meh' mean"?

How many kids do Buff and Max have?

What does the word "meh" mean

― buffandmaxsmom, Saturday, 4 June 2011 00:37 (fifteen years ago)

Buff and Max have no kids. Buff has been spayed and Max has been de-nutted.

thing is, when you post pictures of groups of insects, worms, whatever ― even if they're hairy ― and have no problem at all with complex perforation patterns in man-made material, i wonder whether your fascination really has anything to do with the fear of holes, per se.

it sounds more like you're grossed out by a sort of insectile complexity. human beings (some say) are biologically programmed to be repulsed by things that are insect or snake-like, though we all experience these sensations differently.

"meh" is an interjection usually conveying indifference or disappointment.

"How was the movie?"
"Meh."

buzza's phrase "the meh toe" was likely an ironic counterpoint to your explanation regarding the "great" toe.

i mean, if the issue really were a crippling fear of weird natural patterns, i'd think you'd be far more horrified by something like this than any old garden-variety bug wad, or some guy with clothespins on his face.

i mean, most non-phobic people are grossed out by bugs, skin rot and wound patterns...

I understand what you're saying, but a lot of insects have repetitive patterns or clusters, which is part of trypophobia. Michael White posted that octopus, which contains no holes, but contains a repetitive pattern. If you go further up on this page, there are pictures of people with melted faces, a zombie being hit by a car and his crud splashing the windshield, and a cat with no face, which are not trypophobic. There's also a picture of Al Gore.

WmC: OK, I understand. So from now on, I'll refer to my big toe as my meh toe.

― buffandmaxsmom, Saturday, 4 June 2011 01:00 (fifteen years ago)

The clothespins on the guy's face would be considered a cluster.

― buffandmaxsmom, Saturday, 4 June 2011 01:01 (fifteen years ago)

Excellent. Successful use of irony is a requirement on the World Wide Web.

that bread is man-made material...totally safe

― what made my hamburger disappear (WmC), Saturday, 4 June 2011 01:10 (fifteen years ago)

Nah, you can't manufacture flour and wheat, etc. At least not during our lifetimes.

pattern of holes inside bread are caused by these little guys:

That reminds me, I need to start a preferment for a batch of bread tonight. Maybe I'll take a picture of it tomorrow morning and post it here. It'll give Mom the shivers'n'giggles.

How many human children do you have, buff?

― Jesse, Saturday, 4 June 2011 02:47 (fifteen years ago)

No children, Jesse ... just my two kitties, Buffy and Maxie.
