👉 Okay, let’s tackle this wonderfully prickly little beast of a word! Behold...
Insertable-it-all.
(…Okay, maybe that last bit wasn’t terribly pretty, I'm still workin' on the naming vernacular here.)
Seriously, when we talk about 3D connective tissue – specifically within the fleshy architecture of a human being (let's just say for illustrative purposes, okay?!)— Insertable-it-all is that weird, slightly unsettling, and frankly rather alarming, subcutaneous space where… stuff... just kind of slots itself in. Now, you might instinctively think of shoving something into an already existing gap – a hole, maybe, or a loose screw, as the saying goes. That's... partly right. But it’s far weirder than that. Imagine the inside of your forearm, for instance. It's already there. The 3D space is already existing, you just have to insert something into it. It has this uncanny ability to feel a little too roomy, and then to accommodate… things. Often undesirable. The technical term, which I absolutely refuse to use again unless absolutely necessary (I’ve had anexistential dread since I said that last part), is actually the subcutaneous adipose depot. You know. Fat. But! The insertion into this space – and what that space really, really likes to insert – is a whole other level of peculiarity.
