Mike Tyson came out swinging and approached Evander Holyfield in an audacious manner, but when this proved to be less than effective, Tyson decided to be mordacious.

It is difficult to be properly mordacious without teeth.

Mordacious

Stand back folks I got this one! It means skinny because I once saw two of those Dacious Hound dogs, Oscar and Mayer, and they were really skinny, mor dacious than not. besides they would bite and biting is in the definition given.

Funny looking critters with a roller skate strapped to bellies to keep from dragging the ground, heard they could be crossed with hogs to get more McRibs

The tone of discourse in DC
Is interesting at the least-
For all the driveby media
It is bound to be a feast

Between lying and spinning
O’s minions can’t have fun-
The ones in senate and house
Sound burned and overdone

Paul and Cruz are mordacious-
Ridiculing every lie and gaffe-
Showing Harry’s greedy agenda
By making the rest of us laugh...

I’ve got a little estimate to do for my contractor compadre-back later...
