the worthless word for the day is: gracile

[L. gracilis] /GRAS ul/ or /GRAS ile/
1) gracefully slender 2) graceful

"They were divided into two types-a slender "gracile"
type and a burlier, more primitive-appearing "robust"
type." - Donald. C. Johanson,
Lucy: The Beginning of Humankind (1987)

"The iceberg shattered like a gracile wine glass
being sung to by a heavy soprano."
