The permit required to self-flagellate –

It doesn’t build up, but turns you
Acaudate*

* Acaudate (ā-kô′dāt′) – tail-less (pertaining to animals).
Owen – would you kindly enlighten me as to the meaning of the last two lines.
I know the meaning and correct pronunciation of “Acaudate” (I have a medical background), I know what physical self-flagellation is (I have a religious background).
