poodlescent

adj. 1. Rambo-y. 2. Huh? 3. Oh yeah: poodle-y.

Real citation: “Tyson's do was indeed well-executed but was so completely unrelated to anything remotely Elizabethan it's not even funny. He obviously thinks Marie Antoinette was alive during the Elizabethan age. Hello. Not even close. No powdered wigs, but instead, with the various headpieces/hats, they did what was called ‘ratting’ or friseeing...most of the hair would be pulled fairly severely back into a low bun/chignon, then the two front pieces would be rolled with hair rats or curled into lovely poodlescent puffs.”

Made-up citation: “When grown out, my hair isn’t entirely unpoodlescent. My ancestors must’ve had strong hair and ridiculous dogs.”
