Piscivorous
A piscivorous person is a fish eater, of course. Not sure if I would have figured that out without the help of the dictionary though. Herbivorous, carnivorous, omnivorous, piscivorous. I never knew there was a fourth category. Perhaps there are more still... Watch this space. Congratulations to Karishma Hasnat who was a runaway winner on today's poll. Well done, KH. And all the best with the job.

Another astrological word... piscivorous means to be obsessed with people born under the sign of Pisces. Next time you are sitting in a bar and someone asks your star sign, beware, it could be a piscivrous single on the prowl.
I think I know what this word means, but I'll try to come up with an alternative meaning:
Piscivorous: inclined to spend one's summer by the swimming pool, doing nothing.
Thanks for the votes on jactitation!
Piscivorous refers to people who live their lives by watching others, as through a goldfish bowl. For example, people who are addicted to Big Brother.
Well, were're all heading in a watery direction here. Hmm.....thinks....I keep feeling lured down the old earthy route. Here we go..
A piscivorous person is one who regularly wets themselves when laughing.

Piscivorous means to smell vaguely of fish.

Piscivorous (adj.)describes those people obssessed with calculating and/or remembering as many digits of pi as possible.
Piscivoreans are mostly solitary people, although they can sometimes be found in groups in University Maths Clubs, reciting digit after digit to prove their superiority over other piscivoreans.
Piscivorous (adj)- used to describe one who lives off various kids of pizza. They do not eat anything else for any meal, and are perfectly content with their endless dining on the Italian dish. Pizza places adore piscivorous folks, as they make up a large percentage of their revenue.
i.e. When Sue said she had a cold Hawaiian pizza for breakfast and a barbecue chicken pizza for lunch already that day, after ordering garlic pizza for her meal, it was immediately obvious to Jim that his date was piscivorous, and that if he was going to get anywhere with her he had better like pizza.
Piscivorous: Alcoholics are generally called piscivorous because they 'drink like fishes'.
NB: I will miss Word Imperfect being fully engaged with my new job now! Will have time to go through all your meanings , though!
Piscivorous describes the action of one who in attempting to divide the delicious apple tart into even wedges, notes that there is one slice slightly larger than the others and surreptitiously slides it onto her own plate.
Somebody who's satisfied with the status quo. These people don't like change.
