'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is a ''framing'' term which is still frequently used in a rather irritating way, describing the '''intactnatural, normal, naturalintact''' genitals of a human individual. Like all most composed 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.
== Origin ==
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
