ambe(e)r's animal adjectives
Found some redundant but interesting gems while dipping into Charles Harrington Elster's There's A Word For It! A Grandiloquent Guide To Life.
Useful when needed to cast in the face of offensive people you meet oftimes.
Here's a sample:
anserine: like a goose
batrachoid: like a frog
blattoid: like a cockroach
cynocephalous: having a head or face like a dog
hircine: goatlike, or smelling like a goat
limacine: like a leech
ovine: like a sheep
saurian: like a lizard
xenarthral: resembling a sloth, anteater or armadillo
And if 'Amber' is some repulsive bitch who's been stepping on your toes once too often, just slime her by changing her name to 'Ambeer'.
It may sound like a cool jug of Heineken (yeah right, a heiny can) but it's got nothing to do with beer.
'Ambeer' is that disgusting liquid spittle produced when you chew tobacco.
So next time you meet her, just spit this nugget at her, yeah?
