Not nice.
It means something is not in its place. Think of a tire where the inner tube is sticking out. Oh yeah, that's bad.

A hernia is an opening or weakness in the muscular structure of the wall of the abdomen. This defect causes a bulging of the abdominal wall. This bulging is usually more noticeable when the abdominal muscles are tightened, thereby increasing the pressure in the abdomen. Examples of activities that can worsen a hernia are lifting, coughing, or even straining to have a bowel movement. Imagine a barrel with a hole in its side and a balloon that is blown up inside the barrel. Part of the inflated balloon would bulge out through the hole. The balloon going through the hole is like the tissues of the abdomen bulging through a hernia.

basically a hernia is when an internal organ get's pushed out of place around some type of bone...the most common type of hernia is in males....their testicals can get pushed through the hole in their hip bone. Also, intestines can slip out of the same hole. It's normally fixed by a mesh covering being put over the hole in the illiac crest.

A hernia is a protrusion of a tissue, structure, or part of an organ through the muscular tissue or the membrane by which it is normally contained.

a hernia is a tearing of the muscle & sometimes the lining of the body cavity, then bits of your body can poke out through the hole & be seen through the skin...
...normally caused by picking things up that are too heavy in an incorrect posture...
