Rod is not included because it is not a tangible part of the body. You cant look at your rods. In addition, they are cells, so not exactly a "part" of the body. Lap is also referring to a region of the body.
but the fact remains, everyone HAS some fat. There is not a person alive in the world, and never has been, that has no body fat at all. Therefore, it should be an accepted answer.
Also it serves a function as energy storage and insulation, it isn't a waste product that you can expel like spit or snot.
You can change the amount of muscle mass you have in much the same way as you would change the amount of fat you carry, but I don't think many people would argue against muscle as being a body part.
I don't see how fat isn't a body part.
To add, this is from WebMD:
"Body fat, or adipose tissue, is a complex organ. It contains fat cells, nerves, immune cells, and connective tissue. Its main job is to store and release energy, depending on the body’s needs."- source https://www.webmd.com/diet/features/the-truth-about-fat
Was wondering why some three-letter words didn't work ... of course: "Not including slang". I had a GUT feeling i should have read the TITle first. How embarrASSing. I feel like sLAPping myself.
BUMmer there weren't more! I ABSolutely love a good pun, VAGue though they might be sometimes. If I had NUThing else to do, I'd try to think of some more myself. On the other hand, maybe I should NIP it in the bud before I get SACked. Sometimes I can't resist HAMming it up. Okay, okay, I'll stop. No need to pROD or tempt FATe. I'm FINally done.
I think that example is like shoe strings instead of shoes strings.. the first word becomes singular because of the addition. (Hope you understand what Im saying, kind of tough trying to explain it in english)
I thought that the Periodic Table Elements Mentioned in the Bible quiz had the best comment section on JetPunk, but now my opinion might have changed...
A few commenters saying that gum isn't used in the singular - I wouldn't agree with that. It's the same as lips or jaws; plural if you're talking about both upper and lower, singular if you are only talking about upper or lower.
I think the reason people don't often hear the word in the singular is that we don't often talk about our gums at all, and when we do it's usually referring to something that affects both upper and lower.
One of many singular gum examples found on the internet: "A dentist pulling up a patients lip to clearly see an irritated, bleeding gum."
So there are several mistakes including the fact that gum is answer because you said rod doesnt count, its a single cell. Buddy. “Gum” without an S is a single cell as well. remove it. also, abs? abs is how you spell it? is it cause its short for like abdomen?
In this news report, protestors in the comment section of this quiz have been rioting. These protestors have questioned the exclusion of 'gut', 'rod', 'fat', 'ova', and other three letter candidates. Quizmaster loyalists counter this by stating that they are slang, not actual body parts, or making slighty inappropriate jokes. There has also been a controversy over the inclusion of 'gum' in that it is a plurale tantum or a word that is only used in plural, meaning it should be 'gums' and excluded from the list.
Was told these in school, did it in like 10-20 seconds
(it is part of the body but not a body part. Like spit and snot, everybody has it, but they arent bodyparts, and those are not part of the body)
