MAZE AMAZING MAST MASTODONT MASTECTOMY MALE MUSCLE MASCULINE MASTURBATION


Often MAST MASTECTOMY is mistakenly grouped with 
roots related to MASTURBATION. Another mistake is 
to assume that AMAZING is linked to AMAZON.
The "play on words" given below concentrates on 
AMAZING  MAST and MALE MASTURBATION

Many of us heard that AMAZING AMAZONS inhabited the 
shores of the Black Sea and that they underwent 
MASTectomies to be less encumbered during battles 
with MALEvolent MALES. After the AMAZONS were 
crushed by the Greeks, the name of the Black Sea 
was changed from AUXine to EUxine to show that it 
no longer took AUXilliary forces to dare to visit 
the area. The EUxine shores, particularly in 
Crimea, became known for their healthy environment 
that promoted EUphoric and EUgenic living.

Much later, the Spaniard who explored the largest 
river in the world was so AMAZED that he named 
this river AMAZON. In Spanish, AMAZED does NOT 
exist, so it seems that Francisco de Orellana 
must have picked the AMAXON name for other 
reasons, many say because the Indians that 
attacked him wore skirts but ... humans are also 
"breast fixated". Note that later, geneticists 
speak of MASTodonts and physicians of MAST cells, 
the former for "breast like teeth" and the later 
to point out high cellular fat or lipid content. 
Of course, for centuries we have known that breast 
and breast milk are lipid rich.

Most recently, a MAZE of AMAZING legal activities 
was prompted by those who accepted grafts to 
improve their breast "graphics". 
 
To close, we note that the roots MUS MAS 
giving rise to MUSCULUS MUSCLE and MALE MASCULINE 
EMASCULATION is not the same as MAS or MAST. Note 
that it is MAS TURBATION which may be disTURBING 
but it is not  MAST urbation. For more explore
