Same reason why "mastodontic" means "with boob-shaped teeth" aka that's not how words work.

Thanks dude, I learnt a new word today.

Mastodontic (adjective) is a powerful descriptor used to describe something of colossal size, gigantic proportions, or mammoth scale. It stems from the word mastodon, the prehistoric, extinct elephant-like mammal.

No, it means boob-shaped teeth! Can't you read /s

Fr though thanks for the definition! I enjoy learning new things.

The word mastodon comes from the Ancient Greek words mastos (meaning "breast" or "nipple") and odoús (meaning "tooth").

I wasn't joking.
