Anthropopathy is when human feelings are attributed to nonhumans, such as animals or gods.
An example would be "the gods are angry." Anthropopathy comes from the Greek word "anthropo" meaning "human," and the Greek word "pathos" meaning "suffering." Put the words together and you have "human suffering."

Indeed the greek morph root here properly encompasses the attribution physical forms to God, and it is this which has been practically universally rejected by now (I exempt the Kabbalists, kind of, from this universality>) 2.
The parallel consensus on anthropopathy is much less clear.
As Seth notes, its pretty hard to avoid and while any number of sources are careful to deliberately qualify expressions with a "kaviyachol" or make a point of explaining that such human terms don't really apply, probably much more do not.
