I wasn't planning on making this a theme week, but it turns out I had enough animal adjectives already on my list to post ...


anserine (AN-suh-rin) - adj., of, relating to, or resembling a goose; silly, foolish.


Also, an antioxidant dipeptide, but that's irrelevant here. Borrowed in the 1830s from Latin anserīnus, from anser, goose. Honk!
