“Dinosaur” means “Terrible lizard monster”(?) I think.

Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago — about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct — the teacher said.

That’s my kind of casual conversation! It’s so casual, it might technically be slovenly.
