Benthic
Posted: Tue Sep 17, 2013 11:50 pm
I am reading a book about the Atlantic Ocean, oddly entitled "Atlantic", which contains a host of exciting unfamiliar words, such as the above which means organisms which live near or at the bottom of a sea or lake or even the bottom thereof. I am wondering if anyone would be offended were I to use this in conjunction with a recent recommendation and refer to the benthic denizens of a waterfront tavern?
