Shouldn't the roof of our mouth be called the ceiling?

That would make our sinuses/brain cavity the attic and the tops of our heads the roof

Yes, and the upper gum should be called the mouth eave.

In german it is called "gaumendach", and "dach" means ceiling

The German language proving it's superiority over english yet again

Dach means roof.

English proving it's equivalence to the German language yet again

Fun fact in our dialect we call it sky.

The word for Ceiling in German is "Decke". Which is also the word for blanket. Lol

Yes. I regularly visit the attic by picking my nose.

Yes.

In Czech it's "patro", which can be translated as a floor/story (in a building sense)

It is simply one of many injustices of our early medical practices.

We had them before. They went out of style, or were never in style in the first place. You can try again, perhaps the timing was wrong.
