In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today.

Adjective combining form

I guess we could say Hobbes1 is a tigerzoic humanoid. So sorry, Tiger. It was a low fast ball.
You can use any root word for the “zoic.” Just make it sound like we know what we’re writing.

Like Uma Thurman who changes from a 36B to a 36C, whenever she has her period, or Gweneth Paltrow, who changes from a 32A to a 32B, whenever she doesn't have her hand down her throat. Or Denise Richards who went from a 34C to a 36DD when she was pregnant. Or Soliel Moon Frye, who went from a 38DD to a 36C after a breast reduction, or Courtney Thorne-Smith who went from a a 32DD to a 34C, with yoga.
