Actually, octopussies and octopi are both incorrect plurals of octopus. Its octopuses or octopodes.
So there ya go.

Well, actually, anytime I SERIOUSLY referred to the plural of octopus (like that happens often!) ... it was "octopuses". I never had a clue "octopodes" was even a word.
So, is the plural of "octomom" ... "octomommies"? :D

thank you for that very accurate clarification.
Reminds me of an old theorem developed by two friends of mine (Richard Peck, aka Mallard Filmore, and Forrest Shankle) many many years ago that went something like this:
The Pecker-Shank Theorem - All women are bitches. Therefore all men are sons-o-bitches.
It's yet to be disproven.

Great theorem ... so I take that to mean, all wimmins are also daughters-o-bitches. Doesn't really have quite the same ring to it. :D
