English to Portuguese translations [PRO]
Cinema, Film, TV, Drama / From the film: The staircase (Rex Harrison / Richard Burton)
English term or phrase: Umbilicologist
Pessoal, o Rex Harrison diz ao Richard Burton: "You twisted umbilicologist!"

Contexto: O Richard Burton está falando sobre o sistema de reprodução do furão, sobre as trompas de Falópio, fertilização, óvulos, ciclo vital, etc...

Obviamente a palavra em questão refere-se ao especialista em estudar umbigos ou algo assim. Vejam este texto:

Dr. Bigbottom is a preeminent Auto-Umbilicologist and Professor of Medicine at Peripatetic University (PU). He is highly regarded nationally as an expert in noninvasive approaches to examining the navel. PU’s Department of Medicine has a Practice Plan which links Dr. Bigbottom’s income to fulfilling a job description which acknowledges his contributions in three domains: research, education and patient care.

Então, por favor, me digam se existe uma tradução em português para esta especialidade.

Obrigado!
Daniel Slon

Explanation:
A julgar pelo contexto postado e pela pesquisa que fiz sobre o filme trata-se de um termo inventado com significado irônico.

O post do Nick me lembrou que esqueci de incluir o "twisted" na resposta. Embora não solicitado, nesse contexto ele não me parece tão fácil de traduzir: Umbigologista ou umbicologista de araque/ da pá virada/de meia tigela...
