This term is defined as an expletive used to describe a person who spends their entire life drinking a bunch of a lot of water (often a glass of water), while also describing them with the most disgusting and nauseating mannerisms possible.

Here's an example sentence using 'acanthodean': John was so sick of being in this house, he decided he would take a bath every day. The person, who used to be named John, started drinking from a very large bowl of water, which caused his teeth and gums to swell up and turn black, as well as the smell of the water coming through his nostrils. His bathroom looked like a swamp with piles of dirty papers and unclean towels scattered around him, and his clothes were stained from the countless times he had taken a bath. So now it's all over the house again, John! This description was so unsettling because it conveyed how deeply embarrassed John felt about his lifestyle and habits. The expletive 'acanthodean' made him feel like a monster who couldn't control himself, no matter how much he tried to suppress his urge to be disgusting and dirty.
