the speech function

without this useful little tool, Stephen Hawking would not have a voice.

Functionally Nude

Functionally nude subjects are those who are wearing a decent amount of clothing, but their main sexual regions (i.e. the breasts and pussy, and occasionally ass) are left exposed.

The nudity is functional because they are only nude enough to function in during sex

Daryl: You seemed to be ploughing Jessica behind the counter at the bar last night but she was wearing clothes?
Jake: Oh, yeah, She was only Functionally Nude

After watching Dr Fouci and others discussing the issue of "Gain of function research" for some time now, you should realize that -

Gain of function means Weaponization.
In the same way as "doing collateral damage" means "Killing innocent civilians" in diplomatic military language.
