The Greeks and Romans could use the phrase with irony. In "The Odyssey", Homer has Odysseus face off with a giant cyclops named Polyphemus (since he has only one eye, he can't necessarily have a "polyp" of them).
David, both of my parents are teachers, and I've taught martial arts for about 25 years now. I couldn't get away from tutoring when I was in high school, and I'm sure that my unsolicited advice during middle and elementary school drove everyone crazy.
Oh, polyps are the enemy. Mine, thank heavens, were pre-cancerous. They were found two colonoscopies ago. My most recent exam had none of these guys. Fiber, fiber, fiber!
I've had only one colonoscopy so far, but of course there are more in the future. I drink enough black coffee each day to supply an army regimen, and I eat oatmeal and salad just about every day.
In essence, we are tubes surrounded by meat. We have to keep those tubes flowing!
Speaking of poop and polyps... that's typically what they're checking out and trimming when you get a colonoscopy
Have you already had your first?
I’ve had two!!

It seems like "phemus" means "spoken about" or something to that effect. So, "Polyphemus" would mean "many have spoken about this one."
Yes- he had a fearsome reputation....
Not enough poop.
BRB, brewing more coffee.
Andrew, if you are not a teacher, then you missed your calling. Still, you teach here…
To have found yourself is a great blessing/gift/help…and perhaps you will find something even better…

If I was born to do anything, it is to teach.

So...like one of our cats, then? Her name's Pebbles but I guess we should've gone with something Polyp-related. Polypuss?
Yes, but through one hole!
