AcipHex - Really?

There's a heartburn and acid reflux disease drug called AcipHex, which is a portmanteau of the words acid and effects, as well making use of the symbol pH, which measures acidity. This drug's name is all too clever, even for its own good: AcipHex also sounds like "ass effects."

I write this blog because I had a small bout of flatulence when I first saw the commercial for this drug. I found my own ass effects cosmically appropriate for the entire situation. Let us all meditate on this.
