feline

Archaic for "A cat or other member of the cat family". Nowadays, we just refer to any member of the cat family as a cat. In particular, species of the cat family that are (much) larger than a house cat are referred as "big cats".

Today's Standards: Lions are big cats.

Proper Standards: No, they're felines. Who the hell came up with "big cats", a 3-year-old?

Today's Standards: Nope! We brought "feline" into disuse a long long time ago!
