Octopodes.
at this point i just spite everyone and call them something like “octopodii” or “octopiuses”
Octopussies
Also, octopi. They’re all “correct” due to the multiple original languages’ grammar.
i can do you one better: language doesn’t have rules, if it sounds good it’s valid, who cares
I’ve always preferred ‘octopodes’. It’s just such a fun word.
After reading the children of time series, I choose to use octopodes simply due to the fact that they are beautifully narcissistic little bastards in those books.
Man is that a good, if gut wrenching series.
I should memorize the video
Thank you! I knew they were all correct, and I knew why, but I didn’t have an authoritative source to point folks to.
It used to be on the Merriam Webster YouTube channel but I think that editor left and for some reason it was taken down.
Octopadeus?
Octopodes nuts?
It’s all just one researcher and his best pal octopus taking all the biology budget to have a blast on the weekends.
I want to hug an octopus on molly, better if they share
Speaking as an Australian….
No.
No you don’t.

Octopuses are really good at doing heroin because they have lots of arms to choose from.
There’s no “may” about it. Each octopus arm has its own little processing center to handle its unique movements, it’s called the ganglia.
Just like the butt brain in a t rex to manage walking. I see.
I wish octopuses lived longer. I’d have an octopus friend.
