Prehensile

Once used to describe an object that grasps like a tail, this is now used much like the word "Smuf" (as a noun, verb, adjective and so on). It is also commonly used as a substitute word in colloquial phrases.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the prehensile.

I do not com-prehensile this concept.
