'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is a ''framing'' term which is still frequently used in a rather irritating way, describing the '''intact, normal, natural''' genitals of a human individual. Like all words that begin with "un", the word has a negative, abnormal sound. Its use makes one think that the normal state would be "circumcised" which in fact is not the case. Therefore, the [[IntactiWiki]] tries to avoid this term as much as possible. The term will still appear in direct quotations from other sources.
The word ''uncircumcised'' originated in the Hebrew Bible of the Jews where it occurs 34 times. It is used in a derogatory way to express contempt, scorn, or denigration. The uncircumcised were viewed as alienated from God because of their non-compliance with the alleged [[Abrahamic covenant]], a state that was viewed as sinful and unacceptable.<ref>{{REFweb
