transilient
transilient (tran-SIL-ee-uhnt, tran-SIL-yuhnt) - adj., jumping abruptly from one thing, state, or subject to another.
A rare word, but potentially useful one as we -- SQUIRREL! I definitely saw a squirrel! with a shadow tail! which is its Greek name! -- though transilient is from the present participle of Latin transilire, to skip over/omit, from trans-, across + salīre, to leap.
