Tired of restricting yourself to the overused ‘bovine’? Chris Love has some great suggestions that will expand the biological diversity of your insults:
ant: formicine: ex. “Overwhelmed by the formicine crowds at the officeplex, we sought refuge in the nearest bar.”
…
The most important of these adjectives is obviously “hircine.” Of, pertaining to, or resembling a goat. Ex. “The man created a new alternative energy source that reduced conflict in the world, and saved the planet. He also wrote a symphony for the ages. As hircine a fellow as you’ll ever find.”
You owe it to yourself and to those you slur to check out the entire list.
