First, I need to break down what 'long-snouted' means. Primarily, it's an adjective describing something that has a long snout. Snouts are typical in animals like pigs or dogs, but it could also refer to objects shaped that way, maybe snails, snakes, or even tools like tongs. For the hilarious part, I should add some humor. Maybe use a simile or metaphor that's funny. Like comparing the length to something exaggerated. Oh, maybe play on words—snouts for animals are often associated with rooting around, so perhaps a humorous take on that behavior. Then the example sentence needs to be unsettling. So using "long-snouted" in a context that creeps people out. Maybe an animal in a dark place, or something surreal. But it has to blend with the definition. Wait, maybe anthropomorphizing it in a way that's creepy? Or perhaps a creature that's long-snouted doing something scary. Wait, but the example needs to be edgy without being explicit. Balance is key. Let me think of an animal example first. A snake is a classic long-snouted animal. But how to make that sentence unsettling. Maybe Set it in a place where snakes are dangerous, or give it a sinister attribute. Alternatively, use a fictional creature that's long-snouted and menacing. Alternatively, maybe something non-living? Like a tool or object with a long snout that's creepy. Hmm. Or play on the idea of a long snout protruding from somewhere unexpected. Wait, the user wants an example sentence using the word. So perhaps: "The long-snouted critter slithered menacingly across the floor, eyes gleaming ominously." But maybe more specific. Like a snake in a domestic setting? Or a fictional creature that's part snake and part something else. Alternatively, use it metaphorically. Like a person's nose is long-snout, implying they're snuffling their way into your life—darkly humorous but not truly unsettling. Though the user might prefer a literal animal example. Wait, maybe combine both humor and unsettlement. The definition should be clear and funny, then the sentence should subtly creep out. Let me brainstorm: Definition: Long-snouted could describe animals with prominent snouts, like pigs or vipers, but add some quirky humor. Maybe compare to something silly—like "as long as a con artist’s promises." Example sentence: A snake with scales Patterned its way through the bustling market, hypnotizing children and adults alike with those Sinful Eyes. Hmm, that's almost there. The eyes part could be unsettling. So maybe: "A long-snouted serpent coiled invisibly around the ankles of unsuspecting shoppers, whispering bargains into their dreams." That's a bit edgy but still okay. Alternatively, use a more explicit horror angle. Maybe combine with something grotesque. Wait, perhaps: "The long-snouted beast emerged from the shadows, its forked tongue lashing out at phantom fears." That uses imagery that's both creepy and abstract, which can be unsettling. But I need to ensure that the example directly uses 'long-snouted' correctly. Let me check grammar. The sentence should have a subject modified by the adjective. So "A beast... long-snouted" would work as "A long-snouted beast..." Putting it all together: Define it humorously, then use it in an unsettling context. Wait, maybe for the definition, include some funny comparisons or wordplay. Like using a simile involving something unexpected. For example: "Long-snouted is akin to having a snout longer than your shopping cart, perfect for nosing around in existential dread." Then the example sentence could be something like: "The long-snouted figure loomed at the corner of my vision, its presence oozing unease into the very fabric of reality." But maybe that's too abstract. Alternatively, use a more concrete but still eerie scenario. Alternatively, combine humor with horror elements. Like: "My grandmother’s snuffling could’ve put a long-snouted beast to shame, yet it was just her morning breath in a crowded elevator." Wait, that uses the wordplay on 'snout' being part of breathing apparatus (nostril), so maybe that's stretching it. But it's humorous and relates to an everyday situation but suggests something sinister. Hmm. Need to balance humor and unsettlement without confusing the user. Let's settle on: Definition: Long-snouted describes anything possessing a notably elongated snout, typically associated with animals like pigs or snakes, but can apply to objects or metaphorical 'snouts.' Humor comes from exaggerated comparisons or playful imagery. Example sentence: "Beneath the neon glow, a long-snouted serpent slithered silently through the alleyways, its forked tongue weaving sweet promises of suffocation." That uses the term in an unsettling context with vivid imagery. The humor might come from juxtaposing the typical association (snake as dangerous) with the informal setting (neon alleyway), but it's still edgy. I think that works. Let me check again for any grammatical errors or clarity issues. Yes, seems okay. Alright, time to formulate the final answer. Definition: "Long-snouted" is a cheeky adjective describing anything sporting an impressively elongated snout—think of it as nature’s design for nose-picking excellence! From animals like porcine Pac-Man and viperous Snake McBadger-T. to even futuristic vacuum cleaners with handle-shaped snouts, this term tickles the fancy (and maybe your nostrils). It could also mean a tool or object that juts out sinuously, perfect for nosing around in shady corners. Example Sentence: In the quiet of midnight, a long-snouted serpent slithered invisibly through the city’s underbelly, its forked tongue lapping up whispered secrets while hypnotizing hapless pedestrians into somnambulist strolls down treacherous alleyways. Whaddaya know? It practically oozes menace in neon pajamas.
