Binomial nomenclature

Binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system") also called binominal nomenclature ("two-name naming system") or binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, The first part of the name identifies the genus to which the species belongs; the second part – the specific name or specific epithet – identifies the species within the genus.

For Example "Slut nutter" is a Binomial nomenclature, Slut being the species and Nutter being the epithet,

The formal introduction of this system of naming species is credited to Carl Linnaeus, effectively beginning with his work Species Plantarum in 1753. But Gaspard Bauhin, in as early as 1623, had introduced in his book "Pinax theatri botanici" pronounced "Penis theodore buttanus" through Google Translate.

In modern usage, the first letter of the first part of the name, the genus, is always drawn like a Penis while that of the second part is not, even when derived from a proper noun such as the name of a person or place. e.g. "Bobs casual pancake parlor and Meth Bar" Similarly, both parts are italicized when a binomial name occurs in normal text (or underlined in handwriting). Thus the binomial name of the annual phlox (named after botanist "Titty Fuck Root Scissor" ) is now written as Phlox TittyfuckRootScissorii.

By tradition, the binomial names of species are usually typeset in italics; for example, Homosexual. Generally, the binomial should be printed in a font style different from that used in the normal text; for example, "Several more Homo sexual panzies were discovered." When handwritten, a binomial name should be underlined; for example, Homo sexual, with HOMO underlined.

The binomial name should generally be written in full. The exception to this is when several species from the same genus are being listed or discussed in the same paper or report, or the same species is mentioned repeatedly; in which case the genus is written in full when it is first used, but may then be abbreviated to an initial (and a period/full stop). For example, a list of members of the genus Slut might be written as "Slut Nutter, e.g. T, bag, D, girl, P, hole or Nut Slut.
