do the related terms (in the verb section) are really related terms? They don't seem to have a related meaning...— This comment was unsigned.

The "related terms" section is for words related etymologically.—msh210 22:39, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

anal probe[edit]

Im not sure such an instrument as an anal probe exists in real life, unless we count rectal thermometers as examples. If the sense I added gets challenged, I might have a difficult time turning it up on traditional media, but I've seen various jokes in different contexts all relying on the understanding that the word probe just by itself, shorn of context, means an anal probe specifically, of the type said to be used by aliens on humans they capture and study on spaceships.
