Tiramisu is an Italian phrase meaning "pick me up" or "cheer me up". Tyrannosaurus is mostly from Greek.

If you're surprised the pun works in Korean, then you should also be surprised that the pun works in English in the first place.

Both English and Korean use words from other languages! Sometimes, the same words.
