I love etymology :
- Good God, what is that?
- No Idea ! It looks like some kind of huge armoured animal !
- What shall we call it ?
- Something magestic, to concord with his grace and size.
- Hmmm...
- NOSE-TOOTH !
- Oh no, he woke up.
- Just ignore him.
- NOSE-TOOTH !
- He won't give up will he ?
- I'm afraid not.
- TOOTHY NOSEY NOSE-TOOTH !!
- Ok, ok. Calm down, we'll call it that.
- Are you sure ?
- Yes, we've done it before, just get out the Greek dictionary.
- Ok ?
- Trust me; look up "nose" and "tooth" and stick them together. It'll please him, and sound scientific enough for the community back home.
And so was born the name "rhinoceros".
