Animal can be an adjective.
in-and-out, eh?

Nope, not that, actually. Is that usage ("animal style") the adjective form anyway?  Someone smart answer this, please.

i think so, it might make more sense if you don't think of it in the phrase "animal style" and just placing the order "animal" - what was your context?
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

I learned that my new job is better than my old job.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

Mostly the invention of the motion picture. Not interesting. The early films were cool to see, though.

Wrong. The person teaching it to you or the book you are reading is boring.
