WORD OF THE WEEK
Once more, @Beth Pavell brings us another word of the week! And once again, he reminds us that he's a filth bag under that demure exterior.
Is’t possible? Today marks six months of Word of the Week, and to mark the occasion, I couldn’t help but select a slightly naughty word.
natiform (adj.): resembling or having the form of buttocks. [Wiktionary]
The natiform island rose coyly from a calm sea.
It’s an obscure word, apparently only ever used in a medical context and never in regard to the actual butt itself (Which is a shame). These days it’s pretty much obsolete, but much like callipygian, natiform is ripe for unsophisticated sophistication. So much for the dignity of Latin, natiform coming from natis (Rump or buttock). Which leaves only one question … which is more literary: natiform or ass-shaped?
