Pulseless and saurian! Come on, they’re irresistible.

You’d be surprised how often you can crowbar them into ordinary conversation (“How was the apple cake/the drive up to Tipp/your man you interviewed the other evening?” “Ah, the usual. Pulseless and saurian.”) if you’re willing to make the effort, though my wife threatened an embargo on their use over the weekend. Apparently it’s not an appropriate way to describe George Clooney at all.
