SAN FRANCISCO—In the first-ever groundbreaking linguistics study, Professor Laura M. Sliddhoff of the University of Southern California discovered an astonishing link between the modern word Listicle, a list based article popularized by the media giant BuzzFeed, and the word Testicle, the genitals of males.

"I was honestly astonished," Laura tells The Daily Harold. "I don't know if I can even support such a company after this discovery."

The link was found in the suffix of the word, 'sticle', which, according to the study, is an ancient Latin word which means "of the man".
