At least 20 years of having slugs as a special interest and I never heard the word limeaceous?? Thank you for correcting this!
Now to find out if it actually has specific academic usage and the biologists will execute me if I use it regarding slugs outside the superfamily Limacoidea.
Borborygmus I use often enough, but it’s not widely known. It’s the gurgling sound produced by the movement of gas through your intestines.
Limaceous I almost never use, but I enjoy it anyway. It means characteristic of or pertaining to slugs.
And lastly, tawdry is one of my favorites meaning showy but cheap and poor quality.
The are all great, but tawdry is fantastic!
Rolls of the tongue, and we all come across several tawdry things/people in a given day.
I don’t think tawdry is archaic. A little uncommon, but still in use.
