Because the names that both languages use for these terms are just the original Latin and Italian.

I think they might mean how the LLM picked up on the pun and not just transliterate like, tiranomisu. As a translator, I think it's pretty impressive too. I'm not sure if Google translate from 10 years ago would have done this correctly. Although, it's just a really good guess, if I'm understanding how LLMs work.

Likely the pun is not original

Yeah, it's most likely been done many times on the internet.

Scully, I thought Latin was supposed to be a dead language...

So what the hell is it doing in our victim's meme in posts from two different countries and languages?

Wel, Mulder, your great great grandma is dead, but party of her genes are still life and kicking in you.

Memetics works the same way, originally.
