2. A readiness or tendency to bite things.
The author's droll mordacity helps capture the sense of discontent and disillusionment that was prevalent in Northern England in the closing years of Thatcher's premiership
Michael's irrepressible mordacity ensured that his possessions, what few he had, as well as any individuals who came across him, very quickly found themselves covered in vicious bite marks

Tattered or dilapidated in appearance.
A chap or chappess whose clothes are tattered and torn.
- Adjective
Tattered or dilapidated in appearance.
Although hailing from a relatively affluent middle-class family that could, and would, constantly provide him new clothes to wear, Emerson was well-known within the progressive circles in which he moved for his tendency to dress like- and indeed in all other respects appear to be- a genuine beggar. Thus he earned for himself amongst his friends and their wider circles the affectionate sobriquet 'the bourgeois tatterdemalion'
Michael's tatterdemalion appearance did little to endear him to the people he was (for reasons relating to dole payments) obliged to approach to ask for a job from

A rampaging dickhead. An egotistical arsehole who thinks he's God's gift but whose worth as an individual is about roughly equivalent to that of a pile of kangaroo shit. Someone who continually spouts the sort of stupid drivel that gets people fatally bashed (regrettably, however, never him), and who almost certainly eats shit on a daily basis. A person whom Trump- to no small advantage- could take lessons in how to be a shitty individual from. That obnoxious person who stands at 5"3' but acts as if he's twice that height. In short basically a worthless, argumentative, hypocritical, coarse and ill-mannered individual who is quick to judge and complain about everything, ill-informed about even topics he claims to be knowledgeable in, and in whose presence even Gandhi would rapidly begin to strongly entertain homicidal endeavours relating to curb stomping and dismemberment within.
2.
Any despicable, worthless individual who you would be much better off not knowing in life.

Parent: Timmy, tell the teacher which kid in your class it was that tore off all his clothes, wrecked all your stationery, smashed all the computer screens, peed on some of your classmates, smeared poo on the walls, and knocked himself out attempting to run through a wall?
Timmy: It was Tom. Also he got a stick and was trying to stab us with it when we told him we didn't want him to wreck our sandcastles
Teacher: Well of course it was Tom!

Child: Mummy, what's that dirty smelly thing by the side of the road?
Parent: Come away Billy, quickly. That's a Tom, I don't want him lowering you to his level of worthlessness

1. Any cake, sweet or savoury, that counts beans among its chief distinguishing ingredients.
2. An individual, usually of short to medium height, burly build and unhealthy appearance, who bears some resemblance to a bean, and who in many cases has only the attractiveness and athletic ability of one. (Cf. Beefcake- an athletic, muscular person.)
3. (In science fiction) The largest and most powerful caste of Beanoid, a race of giant sentient bipedal extraterrestrial bean beings. Beancakes almost invariably occupy the upper echelons of Beanoid military hierarchy and are second only to Beanmasters in the level of authority they hold within Beanoid society.

Finding that the Cantonese-style red beancake was much to his liking, Jason ordered several more for the road
Tom, with his short stature, flabby build and unlovely appearance bore all the trademark characteristics of a beancake- an unfortunate fact which coupled with the starkly contrasting elegance and refinement of his associates meant he was often quickly dismissed as a possible partner by the women he would meet out on the town
The biggest and most aggressive form of Beanoid, Beancakes can be distinguished from others of their species not only by their imposing physique and strength, but also the excessively impressive weapons they heft and the indecorous kill-trophies with which they commonly festoon their armour

The faeciform appearance of the chocolate bar floating in the public pool did much to offend the swimmers, even after their immediate fears relating to its precise nature had been allayed
Excluding his cherished refrigerator box, and some sheets of old newspaper, the few other things Michael seems to count as his 'possessions' are all thoroughly faeciform in appearance for a very simple and sobering reason
Tom did not in general cut an altogether pleasant figure, whether in terms of appearance or personality. Charitable individuals upon being confronted with the individual were apt to liken his features to a faeciform sack of potatoes

1.
A: Tell me again how it is that Tom is often able to find himself a woman? Struggling to think of even one reason why anyone should want to date him
B: It's simple, really- morophiles love him. He stands out brilliantly to them. Some people find it really attractive that his IQ only barely reaches room temperature
A: Oh, true, that explains it

Whilst Michael's cheerful, unsolicited pronouncement to the group of unsuspecting classmates before him that '(hey, listen everyone!) I'm a morophile- someone who seeks the company of stupid people!' was not, in a general sense, inaccurate in any way, it did have the irksome quality of somehow implying that the utterer himself wasn't intellectually deficient, and that the people whose company he was in (whether they wished it or not) somehow were. So it was that several unamused faces turned dispassionately to regard the individual that had obliviously thought to pronounce this to them

A modern-day warrior woman of the Amazonian mold. A real-life Wonder Woman, if Wonder Woman were a whole lot more jacked and physically intimidating, blithely wilful and outgoing, and dissolute and licentious. Jenna is essentially law unto herself; a force of nature who speaks her mind, does who and what she pleases, and whom nobody can exert the least amount of control over.
Jenna is a gladiatorial individual who slays at everything she turns her hand to in life. Her dependency (?) on drinking and heroin (amongst other things which she slams daily) presents no barriers to her succeeding in her high-powered line of work, and nor has it had any apparent impact on her physique, which is Olympian tending towards the Schwarzenegger-y. She brushes off quantities and mixtures of drugs that would kill any common mortal and thinks nothing of raving intensely for weeks on end before abruptly returning to work early on a Monday. She is openly disdainful of 'weak' individuals such as Bear Grylls and Johnny Sins and, to satiate her needs, which are ample, goes through ('uses') batches of such people ('objects') on a weekly basis in a process that invariably leaves these people crushed and broken (and often also, somewhat unaccountably in the case of biological males, pregnant).
Consider yourself warned: where Jenna goes, destruction, despair and pregnancies- both male and female- follow.

Jenna: <Forcefully slams shot-glass down> NOW, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE AT THIS BAR WHO THINKS THEY'RE MAN ENOUGH THAT THEY CAN DRINK ME UNDER THE TABLE?
Entire bar: <Collectively groaning/whimpering> ... Please don't hurt any of us
2.
A: Barely recognised our boy Floyd Mayweather just before. Did he somehow age thirty years and become pregnant in the last week?!
B: He had a run-in with Jenna I'm afraid. Poor bastard
A: Sweet mother of God
