Orchids are named after testicles.
More to the point, words have multiple meanings. NdGT is a troll. Huevos means eggs primarily but secondarily means testicles. Ahuacatl means avocado primarily, but had the second meaning too.
I wouldn't refer to huevos revueltos (scrambled eggs) as scrambled testicles.
Dude's a pedant for science accuracy but little else.
Dude spread bad misconceptions even in his Cosmos remake. Like saying Rome fell because of lead in the water and saying Giordano Bruno was killed because he was an astronomer.
I mean, surely other people wrote that stuff and he just read it, but still, if you're gonna correct tiny things people say (apparently as a job) you'd think to fact check
And what's worse, his pedentry is very often wrong. For a smart guy, he's pretty dumb.
I'd love some scrambled testicles!
Huevos doesn't mean testicles per say, it's slang for testicles.
Like calling a penis a wiener.
Slang is a second definition. Definitionally a way language evolves.
