In the discussion of this week's word theme, cenocephalic was used as an example. While cenocephalic is fine and dandy for one who is essentially vapid and witless, I seem to think endocephaloproctosis is more befitting for others.
Physiology happens, enjoy the ride.

I have no idea what that conversation was as I only read the forums, not the word of the day or any of that other stuff, but I do know that one is an adjective and one is a noun. Why would one be a fitting substitute for the other? Or am I being cenocephalic?

"This week's words are created using combining forms. What are combining forms?
You can think of them as the Legos of language."
My comment on this- I have been told time and time again by a friend that Lego is plural, no "s". Is that correct?
