Quote from Elaine in The Heart Attack
Doctor: The tongue. Yes, the tongue... Or, in medical terms, the glossa. It's a muscular organ. Consists of two parts: the body, and the root. You see, it's covered by this mucous membrane. These little raised projections are the papillae. That's what give it its furry appearance. Very tactile. Elaine: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
