Hovris

1 (Noun: Hovris; Plural noun: Hovrises)

An arthropod creature, typically a kindly one, biologically built such that its head and antennae are low to the ground and/or facing the ground. One can very easily imagine a proper hovris sniffing or probing the ground with its antennae. Hovrises include isopods, lobsters, millipedes and beetles.

Upward-facing arthropods such as crabs and locusts are not Hovrises. Nor are cars named after Hovrises, like the Volkswagen Beetle. Hovrises must have a prominent olfactory organ like antennae.

2 (Verb: Hovris; Past tense: Hovrised; 3rd Person Present: Hovrises)

Meticulously sniff or probe something with one's antennae or other olfactory organs in a manner that one would imagine of a hovris. Vertebrates like mammals or other upward-facing animals may be incapable of this. This definition is synonymous with shortened language terms like "Hov."

3 (Exclamation: Hovris)

A family-friendly replacement for any exclamation or expletive, like "Heck," "Fuck" or "Shit."
Joe: "Every Beetle is a Hovris!"
Shelby: "I was going to eat that brioche, but Donk hovrised all over them. Ew."
Donk (Dropped their phone in a hole): "Guh! HOVRIS!! MY PHONE!!"
Jeffry: "Well, hovris! Donk's phone belongs to the hovrises in the hole now. That's a lesson: don't hovris what isn't yours."
