Unfortunately whenever I see the name, I am always reminded of part of the anatomy

  I think it was named so for a reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoplasmic_reticulum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoplasmic_reticulum personally i find it a beautiful match

    Reticulum just means net or net-like structure.

  I am not a native speaker, but I can't figure out what you are getting at. I have a hard time imagining you meant this: > The reticulum is the second chamber in the four-chamber alimentary canal of a ruminant mammal. I guess, on the internet nobody knows you're a ruminant mammal...

    Or maybe "rectum".

      That's what I suspected, but it's actually pretty weird to associate "rectum" as it's quite a dissimilar word, sharing nothing but a few letters. Like, "referendum" sounds like ass too? I mean weird, unless that's where your mind is anyway.
