Acronym for “Premature ‘Tendy Yank”
A premature tendy yank occurs in ice hockey when one team is down a goal or more in the last few minutes of the game, pulls the goaltender sooner than traditionally expected. “Yanking” the goaltender with 5 minutes left when you are down two goals is considered too early and usually results in an empty-net goal to pad the stats.

Get the ptoml mug.Pteropedal (adj.) describes a creature that uses its wings as primary limbs for terrestrial locomotion, akin to how bipedal organisms utilize their legs. The term is derived from the Greek "ptero" (meaning "wing") and the Latin "ped" (meaning "foot"). These creatures walk or move primarily on their wings, often possessing adaptations that facilitate ground movement.
Variations:
Pteropedalism (n.): The state or condition of walking on wings.
Pteropedally (adv.): In a manner involving the use of wings for walking.

"Pteropedalism is a unique locomotion method observed in certain mythological beings."

Get the Pteropedal mug.A shorthand term for all pterosaurs (the group of winged flying archosaurs that is the sister clade of the dinosaurs), including not only pterodactyls but also all the other pterosaur species that ever existed on Earth.
I personally coined this term by analogy with how "dino" is used as a shorthand term for (non-avian) dinosaurs, and also to stop people from ever again calling pterosaurs in general "pterodactyls" even when they're not Pterodactylus antiquus (the only species that can unquestionably be called a pterodactyl).

Within the tetrapods, there have been exactly three clades that have all independently evolved the ability to fly: pteros, a bunch of prehistoric reptiles closely related to but district from dinosaurs; birds, a clade of feathery theropod dinosaurs that unlike all other dinos, uniquely survived the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event; and bats, a group of unique laurasiatherian placental mammals. The pteros were the first clade to evolve full flight, but they're also the only fully extinct flying vertebrate group.
