   syn: beast, brute.

   usage: when we use these words in a figurative sense, as
          applicable to human beings, we think of beasts as mere
          animals governed by animal appetite; and of brutes as
          being destitute of reason or moral feeling, and
          governed by unrestrained passion. hence we speak of
          beastly appetites; beastly indulgences, etc.; and of
          brutal manners; brutal inhumanity; brutal ferocity.
          so, also, we say of a drunkard, that he first made
          himself a beast, and then treated his family like a
          brute.
