Are We the Boobs Class?

Wait are we called mammals after mammary glands? Are mammals named after tits??? ARE WE THE BOOBS CLASS? OH We are. And we also named our galaxy after boob juice. Twice. "milky way" is obviously milk, but the hidden part is that "galaxy" comes from the Greek γάλα (gála), meaning "milk". It's the tit-goo path tit-goo-thing. We are very, very breast focused as a species.

A humorous social media post wonders whether mammals were named after mammary glands and jokingly calls them the “boobs class.” The reply points out that both the Milky Way and the word “galaxy” are connected to milk, turning human breast fixation into an absurd linguistic joke. It is shared as a reaction to jokes about biology, etymology, or humanity’s strange naming habits.
