Full origin of uncircumcised →Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between circumcised and uncircumcised?
A circumcised penis has had the foreskin surgically removed, so the head is permanently exposed. An uncircumcised penis still has its foreskin, which covers the head and can be drawn back. The words describe anatomy only, not hygiene or health.
Is uncut the same as uncircumcised?
Yes. Uncut is the informal everyday word for uncircumcised, and cut is the informal word for circumcised. Both pairs mean exactly the same thing, but uncut and cut are casual and appear mostly in conversation, dating profiles and online forums.
How do you pronounce uncircumcised?
Four syllables: un-SUR-kum-syzd, with the stress on the second syllable. The final -ised rhymes with 'sized'.
