when the anvil meets a hang-glider
If I may, I was a bit of an etymology buff in high school:Rhinoceros comes from the greek word rhinokeros, which is a combination of the words rhinos meaning nose and keras meaning horn.Just FYI.
I love it! (blows kiss toward 465)
It's one of my favourite words. When I was a very young child and used to go to church with my parents I couldn't read the hymn books or understand the words so I just used to sing the word Rhinoceros over and over instead.Steven
"-ous" would indicate an adjective, no?
