Walrus

/WAWL-rus/  n.
  1. 1. A maritime mammal of notable girth, distinguished by its large, blubber-laden body and prominent tusks, often observed lounging in substantial quantities on sandy shores.
  2. 2. colloq. The original thiccc specimen of the northern seas, her posterior defies casual observation and has reportedly caused icebergs to reconsider their positions.
In a sentence:

"The walrus was so thiccc, the tide seemed to pull back in respect. All of her was in command of the shoreline."

Etymology:

From Dutch 'walrus', likely borrowed from Old Norse 'hrossvalr', meaning 'horse whale'. Their tusks are the original ivory towers.

She commands an entire shoreline and the tide reportedly offered no argument whatsoever.

Ruling ADMITTED UNDER PROTEST

Bart PrussSenior Cataloguer

The blubber-laden girth and tusk documentation are in order. 'Horse whale' is a etymology, not a measurement, and I will not treat it as one.

The tide pulled back. Voluntarily. I want to sit with that for a moment because that is a mammal winning a negotiation with the ocean.
