Word of the day: Elasmobranchii
by Antonio on 01/12/08 at 7:00 pm
“Elasmobranchii is the subclass of cartilaginous fish that includes skates, rays (batoidea), and sharks (selachii).” (Wikipedia)
What a word! First person to get it into a conversation with me in the next week wins a fiver.

My fave at mo is muligatawny. It’s also my favourite soup.

You’ve missed the real gem in there: cartilaginous is a cracker of a word.

I love batoidea. An idea in a boat? No, beautiful fish!
