John the two has announced today, that he is going to produce a limited edition poster, see above, to commemorate Radar's 3rd year in the circus. Casey is also talking about having a new costume made for him as well, see below, should he by some miracle make it to a third year.
Should he not make the 3, he will probably return to Lincolnshire or Romania and go on the dole.
Now un-rubbish yourself and stop making a wanker of yourself by texting girls about your wanker on the clock!

pachydermatous
Adjective:
1. Of, like or related to thick-skinned animals like elephants, rhinoceroses, and hippopotamuses
2. Thick skinned, insensitive.
Notes:
Well, we all have known that a pachyderm is an elephant since childhood; it should come as no surprise that this word has an adjective. That suffix -at before the -ous is redundant, so you may omit it if you wish: pachydermous is just as good as today's word—and shorter, if you're in a hurry. The state of having (abnormally) thick skin? Pachydermia
In Play:
Sometimes thick skin is a good defense mechanism: "I don't think your referring to him as a burnt-out has-been will offend that pachydermatous old goat!" However, it can also be an indicator of insensitivity: "Donny Brooke is too pachydermatous to enjoy the subtleties of poetry; he wouldn't enjoy the reading."
Word History:
Today's Good Word comes to us, via Latin and French, from Greek pakhydermos "thick-skinned", a compound made up of pakhys "thick" + derma "skin". Pachys does not show up in many Greek borrowings in English; pachysandra was named for its thick stamens while pachycephalosaurs were named for their thick skulls. Derma, however, appears in many borrowings, including dermal "pertaining to skin", epidermis "outer layer of skin", and the study of skin, dermatology.
