    A Eunuch is a male of the human species castrated; commonly, one of a class of such persons, in Oriental countries, having charge of the women's apartments. Some of them, in former times, gained high official rank.

      1. a male whose balls have been removed, either for government service (such as in ancient Africa and Rome) or, if the castration takes place before puburty, to prevent the voice from breaking (Italian opera's male sopranos of the 17th thru 19th centuries). In the present day, this sort of eunuch may result from testicular cancer.

      2. a male whose entire genitalia is removed. Done as punishment in Ancient Rome, and to qualify for royal government service in China as recently as the 20th century. Also, the hijdra, a caste of Indian transexuals, practice this complete castration.

      3. though rarely applied in this context, may also be a male with a single testicle amputated. A modern example would be [Tom Green], who broadcast the operation on MTV and then went on to bang [Drew Barrymore].

      Not to be confused with Unix, a computer operating system believed to be superior to more mainstream options like Windows and Mac.

        A Eunuch is a castrated human male. The castration can be only of the testes, or also include the penis, known as a penectomy (often with a tube inserted to keep the urethra open, called a urethral rerouting).

        The English word Eunuch is from the Greek eune (bed) and ekhein (to
