The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

I’ll just be asking my dog the most unanswerable existential questions all day long like “are you the best boy?” and “how did you get so scruffy?” and “what are these little teefies for?” and then wonder why he needs to sleep 17 hours a day
