Man

Man, n. An animal so lost in rapturous contemplation of what he thinks he is as to overlook what he indubitably ought to be. His chief occupation is extermination of other animals and his own species, which, however, multiplies with such insistent rapidity as to infest the whole habitable earth and Canada.

Congratulations Bill! What an elegant definition!

Jin, the top definition is Bierce's and his reference to "the whole habitable earth and Canada" is one of my favorite of his phrases. I rarely miss a chance to crib it when in the company of Canadians or Pacific Northwesterners who I consider related ;)
