Word of the Day

Leptodactylous (lep-tuh-DAK-tuh-luhs)
adjective

If you are still stuck to those tired words to describe your sweetie,
here is a new one for you. Leptodactylous means having fine, slender
digits. No, not, digits on a bathroom scale or on a bank account.
Here digit means a toe or a finger.

It all sounds Greek to me: from lepto- (thin) and -dactylous (fingered
or toed).
