bendy
Supple and pliable
Bendy means flexible or easily bent: a bendy straw, bendy yoga poses.
The word is informal and slightly playful, often describing things designed to flex—toys, utensils, roads with many curves.
In British English, a bendy bus is an articulated bus with a flexible middle section.
