squat

Squat lobsters were new to me this week and set me wondering about all the many meanings of the word squat. Could this be a Good Word?

I'll vote for it. Interesting how it is tied to "cogent" in its roots.

That squat lobster sure is an ugly thing, though. i wonder why they call it lobster? It's not, really. While looking it up, I also discovered that Langostino Lobster isn't lobster, either. Langostino is Spanish for shrimp. Go figure.
