goatse goatses goatseing goatsed

Etymology

From the name of a now defunct website which first published the image, namely goatse.cx, which used the top-level domain code .cx, reserved for Christmas Island, because an attempt by an English speaker to say the website's full name would result in a string of phonemes sounding like goat sex.
