#2-Animalish words
My List of Animalish Words
In my book I wrote:
(In addition to sheepish, which means “sort of embarrassed,” I know piggish and wolfish. I wonder if there are other animalish words? I am putting a list of real and made-up ones on my website. You can help.)
Here’s how you can help. In your comments below, tell me your animalish word (real or made-up) along with: 1) a definition of what that word means or should mean, and 2) a sentence that can be fun or clever.
For example, I’m going to start 
with snailish, which I don’t think is a word, but if it were a word, it would mean really slow.
My grandfathers, neither of whom can run, had a totally snailish footrace.
Or how about eagleish, which I think would mean having excellent eyesight.
No one messes around in class because my eagleish teacher sees everything.
Go for it!
(Read over the comment list first to see what other kids have written. Some of them are really good, really clever, and really funny,)
Dragonish? (really cool is what I came up with describes you!), Skunkish (really stinky, describes Goon!), and Crazy Book Wormish (describes me with your books!)
sharkish? hope its a good one.
Excellent one!
cheetaish-really fast (describes me!)
how about pigish cheesie?
Piggish is a good one!
Foxish, sneaky.
Sluggish (an actual word).
Wasplike, mean, “stings” you, bully, jerk, etc.
Sluggish is a great word!
Catty-to act extremely stuck up and vain.
Sounds like Goon to me!
Good one, sorta… I was looking for -ish words
how about pigish and snailish
Piggish is a real word, but I think the other word is “snail-like.”
Bearish
Sluggish
Doggish
You are good at this.
Made up one is squirrel-ish it means you scampered away.
I think that is cool
That’s interesting. I looked it up and “squirrely” is actually a word. It means having quick, jumpy movements and also quirky behavior like being odd or eccentric, strange, or just weird.
Egleish???????????????????????????????????????
Whoops!
Sluggish. Means very slow.
alligatorish
means strong or buff
The people working out at the gym looked very alligatorish
I think you just made that up. (Which is quite creative!)
Chickenless, I think it means no fear.
I’ve never heard of that word before.

I fixed it. Thanks!
Real work “fishy” means something is not right.
