Wednesday word of the week – protractile

My tongue is protractile. I’d stick it and prove it, but that’d be rude, so here’s a tulip instead.

The term usually refers to body parts and simply means they can be extended or protruded. Another word for the same thing is protrusible.

Which do you like best – protractile or protrusible?
