Foreign what?

Today during our language lesson our teacher, Fitorja was telling us that (to the best of her knowledge) tumors are referred to as “foreign meat” inside one’s body. Yes, you did read it correctly, the doctor will tell you after your x-rays that you have foreign meat in your body.

Seriously?

(Side note: I did do a little research later and found that any kind of abnormal tissue growth can be referred to as a foreign body or ‘meat,’ even in English. I don’t know why but it still strikes me as utterly hilarious!)
