Interesting (My MS is in Animal Behavior) that gorillas universally use terms such as sh++ for something bad, "water fruit" for melons, etc...
That "water fruit" reminds me of something my oldest said when he was two years old.

The first time his mom ever fed him a chunk of a salmon fillet, he was really going to town on it, stuffing pieces of it into his mouth and smacking his lips.

Suddenly he pipes up and says, just as clear as day "I like SLIPPERY CHICKEN!"

We both about fell out of our chairs laughing! He didn't know what it was, just that it was meat - like chicken - and that it was "slippery".

Years ago we lived on a small acreage out a few miles in the country.
We had a male Collie who's name was Lucky II.

One day a farmer who lived about a half mile down the road came to
visit. He said your Collie is a real smart dog. He comes down to my
place, rounds up all of our sheep, herds them into a corner up by the
house, and then lays down and watches them.

I was so proud.

But, then he said there is just one problem. I don't want my sheep
rounded up and put in the corner up by the house. So we had to
keep Lucky II home.

If my memory isn't too faulty I think it was Will Rogers who said:
"If dogs don't go to Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they
go."

Don't limit it. Most quadrupeds are better than most people.
