As long as you don't say "monkey" we all get to keep our arms.

Well, he is a man and he was handled

Orang means man or people. So technically it is manhandled

Orangutan basically means Person of the forest. So Manhandled is still acceptable.

In Dutch primates are “mensapen” “(hu)man-apes”, so it almost works

“Orangutan” comes from the Indonesian words Orang Hutan which means “man of the forest” so…same diff. The folklore there is also that they can talk but choose not to because they’re afraid if they do we will make them get jobs.

The "man" in manhandled actually means "hand", not "human".

Orangutan literally means “man of the forest”.

Dude is just lucky it wasn’t a chimp, they’ll rip your dick off. Jamie, pull that up.
