Ca·prig·e·nous a.  Of the goat kind.
    The family . . . is alternately known as the nightjars (derived from the "churring" sounds of several species -- "jarring" the night air), or goatsuckers, a nonsense name that should be discontinued as it has its origin in the preposterous myth that the birds sucked the milk of nanny goats until they were dry.   --Terence Michael Short (Wild Birds of the Americas)
