Put the Greek grammar book down and walk away

Uh oh.

Ian, you've upset Anne. Bad Ian!

Anne, he was kidding. It was just a joke. Breathe. It will be all right. The universe is unfolding as it should.

Everybody else, as you were.

Update:
Oh. So apparently Ian wasn't joking after all, just ask Oxford.

I still think it's funny that the adjective-form of octopus (as in "like an octopus") is "octopusine".

Heehee.

I dunno. Maybe

"That tree is very octopusine."
"Squid are octopusine."
"The guy who just tried to pick me up on the street was totally octopusine."

It's funnier when you say it in a valley girl accent.

Anne should phone the Underwater World Aquarium in Queensland, Australia. They have a big sign up in their Octopus section explaining the Octopodes thing...

I'll phone Australia if you pay for it. And I'll make sure that they explain "real slow like" so that the call takes a nice long time.

Everyone has their own ummm.....anal things...is that the right phrase? Mine happens to be anything Classical. You start it, I don't stop it. Just ask sic... Anyone who knows me for more than umm....maybe 5, maybe 10 minutes will know this.

("You're a fourth year Classical Archaeology student. Have you ever heard of the Trojan War?" NO! Really! Was that a war about condoms?)
