Nip/Tuck or Nip & Tuck?
Can you have a nip without a tuck? Can you have a tuck without a nip?
After some strenuous online research I’ve discovered that in plastic surgery jargon these two words truly are inseparable. Occasionally, peanut butter and jelly will take a break from each other, and Regis will have to make do without Kelly every once in awhile. But outside of Tuck’s brazen attempt to ditch Nip in the phrase “tummy tuck”, there is no tucking without nipping, and vice versa. Each word does describe a different part of the plastic surgery procedure. The “nip” is the actual incision that is made on the body, and the “tuck” refers to the pulling and tightening of the skin. So I would just like to remind the arbitrary punctuators at the FX television network that your dash is very divisive. And just to even things out, might I suggest the new phrase “navel nip”? I think it’s only fair.
