Why is being deceptively hairy a good thing? I take issue with peaches, kiwis, and, sometimes, even balls, for that very reason. It just occurred to me. Why is being deceptively hairy a good thing?

Outside of science, laypeople like you and I would use it specifically to describe Elephants, hippos, and rhinos. I think the elephant finds himself so adroit because his trunk can grasp things. Also, they are capable of tenuous domestication. Hippos and rhinos on the other hand are fucking scary. Kinda hot in these rhinos. Mr. Beebe: I was gonna talk a lot more about penises. Would that have satisfied your cucumber lust? Vicki: I meant no foul.

Pachyderm IS a great word. Remember there was that college-student moving company that Brett Dobbs was a representative for, called Pack-A-Dorm? Pretty awesome wordplay if you ask me. One thing: I feel like the cucumber element wasn't fully developed here... did I miss something? Do Hindus worship cukes? Nice one, Chicken Flava. Pachyderm IS a great word.
