pos: noun

Senses:
gloss: Any ray (marine fish with a flat body and wing-like fins) of the family Pristidae, having a snout that resembles a saw.
pos: noun
examples: 2002, Maurice Burton, Robert Burton, Sawfish, entry in International Wildlife Encyclopedia, Volume 16: Rifleman - sea slug, page 2238,
The sawlike snout that gives the sawfish its common name may represent up to one-third of its total body length. Despite its sharklike shape, the sawfish is more closely related to rays.
Because of their sharklike appearance, people often refer to the sawfishes as sharks. However, they are actually related to the skates and rays because the gills are ventral, the eyes are on top of the head, and the pectoral fins are attached to the head.
Smalltooth sawfish native to rivers in south-west Florida appear to have given birth without sex – essentially cloning themselves.
The sawfish (Pristis pectinata) – a type of ray that grows up to 7 metres long – is a critically endangered species.[…]The sawfish is the first vertebrate shown to use parthenogenesis in the wild.

The slumlord was collecting over $100 a month for this horrible place.
The first rule in the slumlord business is: “The poorer the tenant, the bigger the profit!” The explanation is simplicity itself. For example, a poor family needs a two-room apartment, but can't afford the $40.00 a month rent. So you divide the two rooms into four smaller apartments, and rent each one for $20.00 a month. The poor families are happy with the low rent, and the slumlord is happy with the increased profit.
The guy's a real bastard, a real slumlord. He never did anything to maintain the place. He wouldn't give us a written lease—we only had a verbal agreement.
