    I just checked. My own pooper is more or less halfway between my booper and my feet. So since I am a rept if I were a reptile I would be measured only half my current human size.

      I mean, it’s not the exact same, but human fetuses can be measured similarly with a “crown to rump” length. I have to notate this in my reports (but I include other measurements too like hand/foot length and “crown to heel” length).

    Biologists would never go for it. Nothing in biology is ever given a whimsical or off-color name.
