Indentify my thingy

I would just like to know what the little glob that hangs down in my mouth is called. It is not the tonsils, because they are further back and there are two of them. This is one thing that hangs off the roof of my mouth, about where the roof of my mouth ends and the nasal cavity begins. It looks sort of like a slug. It doesn’t correspond to any description of tonsils that I have come across, and I wasted a lot of time looking at vaguely medical sites and not coming up with a name.

Thanks in advance

I believe its called the uvula. There was a thread in MPSIMS last week concerning a sore one.

FloChi That’s your peni… oh, sorry! That’s my thingy!! :smiley:

There is a mailbag article What’s the uvula for?
