Pronk (def): involves the observed behavioral reaction of a Gazelle (or Gazelles) as they leap with fright, straight up in the air, when being pursued by a predator.
I must be part Gazelle because when someone takes me by surprise or tries to scare me by surprise, I usually jump straight up in the air.
New word:
Arctoid
