This would imply a transitive verb "to chimpanz", with chimpanzee meaning one who is chimpanzed. This further extends to a agentive noun chimpanzer, one who chimpanzes. Then I reanalyze chimpanzer into chimp + panzer, and picture a chimp driving a tank.

Yes. It looks as if the "no longer available" sign was the image originally meant to be there.Arayaz wrote: ↑16 Aug 2024 15:33One hundred percent.

Quoting this whole thing to include useful context:
Salmoneus wrote: ↑26 Apr 2024 01:19FWIW, the song is by Eduard di Capua, based on a tune by Alfredo Mazzucchi, and was written in 1898. At the time Elvis sang it, it was already quite well known in the US, both in its original Neapolitan version and with new English lyrics. Elvis paid some guys to write new lyrics for his version.Flavia wrote: ↑25 Apr 2024 16:52I don't listen to him either. It's a quite well-known song though.Arayaz wrote: ↑25 Apr 2024 16:46Ahhhh, I'm afraid I've never listened to much by Elvis, and didn't get the reference ...Flavia wrote: ↑25 Apr 2024 16:34"It's now or never, come hold me tight" from Elvis Presley's song.Arayaz wrote: ↑25 Apr 2024 16:30
Google Translate suggests that this is Latvian? Goes to show how much it knows; I am sure it is Latin. Yet is this a pun of some sort that I am not getting? I have looked up the definitions of the words ─ yet I feel there is deeper meaning than I am seeing ─ I am not a scholar of Latin; I know not what it truly means. Are some of these false friends, perchance? Or am I overanalyzing the words I see?
And yes, the Elvis single is one of the ten best-selling singles of all time.
