Sea Urchin Disgust Reaction

Sea urchin Article Talk 文A For other uses, see Sea Urchin (disambiguation) Sea urchins (/ˈɜːrtʃɪnz/) are spiny, globular echinoderms belonging to the class Echinoidea. 950 species of sea urchin live on the seabed of every ocean, inhabiting every depth and climate zone from the intertidal seashore down to 5,000 meters (16,000 ft; 2,700 fathoms). The spherical, hard shells (tests) of sea urchins are round and covered in spines. urchin spines range in length from 3 to 10 cm (1 to 4 in), with outliers such as a sea urchin possessing spines as long as 30 cm (12 in). Sea urchins move slowly.

A cropped Wikipedia article about sea urchins is overlaid with a large red circle and arrow pointing to a grimacing face. The joke is the exaggerated disgusted reaction to the spiny animal, as if merely seeing the words “Sea urchin” is horrifying. It is used as a reaction to something unpleasant, bizarre, or unexpectedly disturbing.
