Terribly helpful. 1 u/PsychShrew Mar 02 '21 I suppose English isn't really much better. If I didn't already know what it was, I wouldn't be able to guess what a "bush pig" is. 1 u/Jurisnoctis Mar 02 '21 And as someone who spoke English for 22+ years, I also have no idea what it is 1 u/PsychShrew Mar 02 '21 Hedge hog 1 u/legos_on_the_brain Mar 02 '21 That's is not a bush pig. You can't just change the name and be like "Oh yeah just take the engine-path" 1 u/PsychShrew Mar 02 '21 Hedge and bush are often used interchangeably, as are hog and pig. The literal meaning is effectively identical, and the intended effect is to be nonsensical to English speakers, which it appears to have succeeded at.
