I learned a New Word Today

"Opioid" which is, according to Merriam-Webster, "any of a group of endogenous neural polypeptides (as an endorphin or enkephalin) that bind especially to opiate receptors and mimic some of the pharmacological properties of opiates —called also opioid peptide"

"Opioid Peptide" should be the name of a band. Or a Marvel super villian.
