Next time I want to call someone a reptile, I'm going to call him an acrodont instead.

Thanks sionnach.

1. Having the teeth attached to the upper surface of the jaw rather than encased in a socket, a condition seen in many lizards and fish.
2. The teeth of some reptiles that have no roots and are joined to the jawbone.
