You can pinch and pull that area much as you like, it won't complain to your brain. That's not to be confused with the ulnar nerve pain you get if you hit your elbow just right -- or wrong, depending on your point of view -- on something."

A smile then. "I bet if someone were to come up with something better than patella posterior they would get a lot of acclaim." Because there wasn't really money in naming things. Just fame.

"they can make a name for the skin of your elbow, but not the back of the knee? humanity sure has weird as hell priorities."

"...the skin on your elbow is called a wenis, if you're wondering."
