Orangutan

Orangutan - “man of the wild”

From Malay orang utan, literally “man of the wild,” from orang (man) + utan (forest, wild). It is possible that the word originally was used by town-dwellers on Java to describe savage forest tribes of the Sunda Islands and that Europeans misunderstood it to mean the ape.

It is also Indonesian for 'forest people'. Orang is Indonesian for People/person, and Utan means Forest. Malay and Indo share many of the same words and meanings. People in Sumatra described them as such when trying to explain their existence to original explorers.

Clearly the next step is to require background checks on all pipe purchases...as we know one in a million people who purchase them use them for violence.

Bra

Bra - “armored armplate”

From Old French “braciere”, a term that referred to the armored armplates used by French Renaissance soldiers. It is unknown why or who at Vogue magazine dubbed the new undergarments after this French battle armor in 1902, but it remains today, albeit in the shortened form of bra.

‘Bra’ is a shortened form of ‘brassiere’, an English word that has been in use since at least 1893. It comes from ‘brassière’ a Norman French word referring to a child’s undershirt.

Braciere is Italian for brazier, a metal box used to contain fire.

18c., “woman’s underbodice,” from French brassière “child’s chemise; shoulder strap” (17c.), from Old French braciere “arm guard” (14c.), from bras “an arm,” from Latin bracchium (see brace (n.)). Modern use is a euphemistic borrowing employed in the garment trade by 1902. - etymonline

Before you try and “prove someone wrong” in the world of etymology, please check etymonline. Mr. Harper sources from multiple renowned etymologists and is incredibly reliable. Here is one of many sources showing Vogue was the original coiner of the use of “brassiere” to refer to the support garment. And another. And another. And another.

Grouse

Grouse - “all out (of beer)”

In German taverns they would cry “gar aus!” (all out) when their cups were dry and needed a refill. This gave rise to both grouse (to complain) and carouse (to have a rowdy good time).
