hardbastardomorph
noun. A body type characterized by rigidity and awesomeness and hardly any mashed potato-like consistency.
Real citation: "'Dancers have different body types from footballers,' says Nicki de Leon, consultant physiotherapist with the British company Random Dance, who also treats pro footballers.
