No, that's an opossum. An orgasm is a formal speech given at a formal occasion.

You're thinking of an oration. An orgasm is a mythical ancient metal described as a golden-yellow alloy that somewhat resembled brass.

Nah, you’re thinking of orichalcum, an orgasm is the philosophical position that states that the universe and its various parts ought to be considered alive and naturally ordered

I’m sorry, but that’s organicism. Orgasm is a function describing the location and wave-like behavior of an electron in an atom.

Oh, but that's an oxymoron! You're thinking of a chemical process where a substance loses electrons.

No, you're thinking of oxidation
Orgasm is a citrus fruit, which is the hybrid of the Pomelo and the Mandarin, and has a colour of the same name.
