👉 The word 'mouse like' has been a common slang term since the early 20th century, where people used it to describe creatures with sharp claws and pointed ears that resemble mice. It gained popularity during the 1960s, when it was used in various contexts, from science fiction to humor.

One classic example sentence using 'mouse like' is: "Hey there, you know what? I don't see a mouse in this picture. Maybe someone accidentally left it behind or something." This sentence is unsettling because it's not a joke but rather an expression of deep skepticism and disbelief about the accuracy of the situation described.
