Stuart's Daily Word Spot: Pachyderm

RhinocerosImage via Wikipedia
Pachyderm: noun - Any thick-skinned quadruped, elephant, rhinoceros, hippopotamus; thick-skinned individual.

‘At the zoo, Jennifer was always eager to visit the pachyderms, finding the folds and creases of their hides utterly fascinating and revolting.’

‘You pachyderm; you’re so impervious to criticism and adverse comment, Adolph, that it’s no wonder people don’t like you.’
