From the list of Words That Don't Exist But Should™:

bien·a·pro·pos /ˌbjɛ̃.æp.ɹəˈpoʊ/ adv
Appropriate, fit, suitable.

Also, two more, because why not:

alpacino /ˌælpəˈtʃiːnoʊ/ or /ˌælpæˈtʃiːnoʊ/ n
A male baby alpaca.

alpacina /ˌælpəˈtʃiːnə/ or /ˌælpæˈtʃiːnə/ n
A female baby ( Read more... )

That word is bienapropos in many situations and contexts!

Maybe you should try to slip it by an editor some time and see if they notice. :)

Indeed - and whatever he asks of you, you can't refuse. (Because he's too damn cute when he's looking at you with those big puppy eyes!)
