Octopode - A made-up word that people use to sound smart, but it’s just

A made-up word that people use to sound smart, but it’s just a fancy way of saying octopus plural.

My teacher tried to trick us with octopode. I called her out and got extra credit.

My brother used octopode in his essay. I told him it was just a fancy way of saying octopi.

My friend’s Instagram caption said 'octopode' and I had to explain it to him.
