Tribal

When used as a noun, it refers to an individual possessing three balls. Etymologically, it is a portmanteau of the Proto-Indo-European descendent "trih2" meaning "three" and a vowel reduction applied on the word "ball", itself a descendent from PIE "bholn", meaning "bubble". As an adjective, it serves to indicate the quality of possessing three balls,

The human condition whereby the primal need for identity and trusted association, prove to be more important than objective, critical thinking; and the quest for goodness, righteousness, and truth. Often magnified by a parallel lust for control, capital, and power.
