Animalssuch

Animalssuch is a coined term used in linguistic discussions and online communities to refer to the nonstandard concatenation of the words "animals" and "such" as a shorthand for the phrase "animals such as" that introduces examples. The term is not part of formal grammar but functions as a meta-label or meme illustrating how exemplification is signaled in English.

It is not a recognized grammatical category in standard linguistic descriptions; rather, it appears as a playful label used to discuss exemplar markers, memes, or to illustrate how English often requires the phrase "such as" to introduce items in a list.

Origin and usage patterns: The term likely arose in internet discourse where users remix words for humor or rhetorical analysis. As a neologism, it helps talk about exemplar-intro phrases without repeating the longer form.

Example usage in discussion: "The phrase animalssuch would label the exemplification mechanism in 'animals such as dogs and cats'—i.e., the way the writer introduces examples." This framing treats animalssuch as a linguistic label rather than a standard expression.
