“Hypo-” means “low”, while “hyper-” means “high” (as in “-allergenic” or “-active”). Now I’ve just got to figure out what a “tenuse” is and I can start exploiting the untapped market for high ones.

I don’t think it is nice to nock hypotenuses. They are scary with those big teeth and belong in a zoo or the Nile…
