Note
The -y of horny turns to -i before -er, as in happier, and more horny is the longer equivalent. One spelling serves both the hard-as-horn meanings and the slang sexual one, and the comparison exposes the split: hornier hands have tougher skin, hornier teenagers more desire. Where the slang reading would be unwelcome, tougher or harder says the physical thing plainly.
