chatoyant \shuh-TOI-uhnt\, adjective:
  1. Having changeable lustre; twinkling.
  2. (Of a gem, esp a cabochon) displaying a band of light reflected off inclusions of other minerals.
Chatoyant's poetic origin lies in the French chatoyer, "to gleam like a cat's eyes," from the French chat, "cat."

  • What you say to someone right before you say something that can only be taken one way: badly.
Don't take this the wrong way, but every time you enter the room it smells like someone smeared shit all over my face.
