Which is worse?

[reyd reid reed]

Evisceration or disembowelment?

:shrug:

[Ptah]

1. Code Brown.

[reyd reid reed]

4. Y'think?

Hmmmm...maybe.

[SPKrazy]

2. disembowelment

[reyd reid reed]

5. Based on what?

:shrug:

[SPKrazy]

13. Based on I wouldn't want my bowels taken out of my body

but since evisceration means the same thing, then there is really no difference is there?

:shrug:

[reyd reid reed]

15. True...

I think it's more of the images associated with each word.

See post #10. It's late and I'm getting sleepy.

I get stupid when I'm sleepy. Like spend too long debating the differences between disembowelment and evisceration.

:crazy:

[AirmensMom]

3. Why do you want to know?

:scared:

[reyd reid reed]

7. Heh....just wondering.

Nothing (or no one) specific in mind.

O8)

:hi:

[AirmensMom]

9. OK ...

had me worried there for a minute. :P


:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear reyd reid reed!

What an awful pair of choices! :puke:

I don't like either one of them......obviously...

I'd have to say, if pushed, that they are equally awful......

What on earth brought this on, sweetie?

:scared:

[reyd reid reed]

10. My mind occasionally takes rather...

dark....turns. In this case, I'm just curious. Disembowelment sounds messier, while evisceration sounds a little more detatched and clinical.

To me, anyway.

[SPKrazy]

18. Eviscerate sounds surgical

whereas disembowelment sounds like you said "messier" like maybe a dull butterknife or even a dull kitchen knife doing the cutting.

:puke:

:hug:

11. Oooooh...

the background on that looks like my hair on a really dry day.

:rofl:

[u4ic]

12. Hanged, drawn and quartered

I like a bit of drama in my life. :P

[reyd reid reed]

14. Yeah, if it's done right...

but which of the two does that involve? Disembowelment, right?

[u4ic]

23. Disembowelment is but a fraction of h/d/q

Dragged on a hurdle (a wooden frame) to the place of execution.

Hanged by the neck for a short time or until almost dead.

Disembowelled, and the genitalia and entrails burned before the victim's eyes

Beheaded and the body divided into four parts (quartered).

Typically, the resulting five parts (i.e. the four quarters of the body and the head) were gibbeted (put on public display) in different parts of the city, town, or, in famous cases, country, to deter would-be traitors. Gibbeting was abolished in England in 1843.

[reyd reid reed]

24. Yup....

the whole process, from beginning to end, was just gruesome.

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. Thus giving rise

to soccer hooliganism.



Btw — why do you know so much about this?

:scared:

[u4ic]

53. It puts a little fun into Sunday afternoons n/t

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. What's the big, clinical word

for being drawn and quartered?

All I can think of is "vivisection," but I don't think that's it.

:shrug:

[reyd reid reed]

33. Vivisection, I *think*

is more along the lines of dissecting something that's still alive.

So...being drawn and quartered Could still apply. Loosely.

:shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

I was just thinking

about an article in Playboy I read several years ago, speculating about Jimmy Hoffa. The writer interviewed a former Mafia hit man, who told them they sometimes cut up guys with a chain saw.

While they were still alive.

:scared:

[reyd reid reed]

39. Oh, now you just hadda go and do that, didn't you?

As if the minute differences between evisceration and disebowelments weren't enough, now you've gone and not only added vivisection, but vivisection by chainsaw.

42. I hated the Eurythmics

:puke:

[reyd reid reed]

43. Serves you right.

:P

[Oeditpus Rex]

49. Hmmm...

Serves you right to suffer
Serves you right to be alone
Serves you right to suffer, baby
Serves you right to be alone


:P

[reyd reid reed]

50. John Lee Hooker version, right?

RIGHT???

[Oeditpus Rex]

52. Sorta

The one I know is the J. Geils version. They messed some with the lyrics.

[reyd reid reed]

54. Hooker is better.

Definitely.

[petronius]

16. Assuming the two procedures were performed equally quickly,

I'd assume the evisceration would lead to a quicker death. It seems that disembowelment would leave the participant alive for a non-negligible period of time in which to think about what just happened, so I'd say that one is worse...

[reyd reid reed]

19. You might have a point nt

[petronius]

25. By the way, there have been death metal bands named both

Evisceration and Disembowelment, so from a musical perspective your question makes sense...

[reyd reid reed]

26. Now, from an artistic view...

to my ear, evisceration is just a more melodic word. It's more lyrical -- softer.

[petronius]

31. I don't know - evisceration has those hissy sort of noises in it

Disembowelment has that warm "owl" sound - it makes your mouth pucker up like a kiss when you say it... :silly:

[reyd reid reed]

32. Disembowelment has a more gutteral sounds...

evisceration is more sibilant. More like a whisper than a hiss...

[petronius]

37. I get it - the sibilance of "Evisceration" evokes sweet-nothings whispered

in a lover's ear on a velvet starry night. I can totally see that. Rather than a band, however, I think it should be the name of a sexy new perfume (the ads for that could be awesome). ;)

[reyd reid reed]

38. LOLOL!

NOW you're gettin' it!!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[wildhorses]

17. for some reason when i think of disembowelment

i 'see' it as being pulled out

where as when i see the word evisceration i think of being cut out


:shrug:


yeah, i am weird

[reyd reid reed]

21. So disembowelment strikes you as messier, too?

Heh...no weirder than I am.

[wildhorses]

30. well, not so much messier as

more brutal...

and for some reason

this is NOT for the unclinical here....



















i think of disemboweling as being pulled out through the anus

where as i think of evisceration as being cut open and being layed open kinda like mel gibson in braveheart:shrug:

[reyd reid reed]

34. That probably comes from the

'bowel' part of the word...I think if it more in terms of gutting something. Just crudely.

[wildhorses]

41. prolly--i am kinda 'literal'

in terms of word usage;)


picky that way


can't ya tell by the way i post:rofl:

[leftofthedial]

20. both can ruin your day

but neither holds a candle to listening to one of king george's "speeches."

[reyd reid reed]

22. True...

too true.

:scared:

[leftofthedial]

27. both are far less painful than the listening

for what it's worth, evisceration is much easier to rhyme.

[reyd reid reed]

35. Therefore it lends itself

better to more lyrical pursuits. Poetry and song...

Somehow though, the idea evisceration set to music is just -- I dunno -- jarring.

[leftofthedial]

36. It's the new dance sensation

Doo doo doo the evisceration

[reyd reid reed]

40. with me...

you gotta swing your hips now...

:rofl:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

44. Oh gee, we're thinking happy thoughts tonight aren't we?

:hi:

I prefer neither thanks

[reyd reid reed]

45. Heeeee....

believe it or not, I am. Thinking happy thoughts, that is.

But then, I can be contrary at times.

:hi:

[qnr]

46. Evisceration.

It means that it is likely that some snobby-assed college-educated puke is doing it & drinking chianti, instead of a friendly, down-to-earth type, who just goes for disembowelment & a quick beer.

[reyd reid reed]

47. Oh, not chianti...

Ewwwwwwwwwwwww....

[qnr]

48. Yeah, lambrusco would be more appropriate, being a "frothy" red wine

he says, whilst whistling innocently

[reyd reid reed]

51. Innocent...

yeah. Riiiiiiiight.

O8)

[NMMNG]

57. On the contrary

Dr. Lecter was fond of disembowelment, as well as chianti.

[qnr]

58. Yes, but he was a refined gentleman, I'm talking about the dirtbag, show-off, wannabes n/t

[NMMNG]

59. I see

So being disemboweled is less painful when a refined gentleman does it? :rofl:

[reyd reid reed]

60. Maybe not less painful...

but it is more elegant. More socially acceptable.

:rofl:

[qnr]

61. Yeah, because the wannabes make you want to puke, but you no longer have

that capability.

[NMMNG]

62. LOL

:rofl:

Interesting take.

[ironflange]

55. I consider them both to be the same thing

Except evisceration happens when you're dead, as with a turkey, while disembowelment is done while you can still enjoy the show yourself. IMHO.

[reyd reid reed]

56. I think I'd definitely prefer the pre-deceased version...

something about having a front-row seat...

:scared:
