It’s just a knight with a coconut shell.

These horses were knighted. Be respectful and call them by their title!

"So it's called a 'knight'?"
"Yes."
"But it's shaped like a horse, not a knight."
"Yes."
"And it can only move in an 'L' shaped pattern."
"...Yes."
"That's not confusing at all."

Don't forget that it's the only piece that can jump over other pieces.

The king jumps over the rook when castling

I love you people. My family, my friends, and then you people. You're like the third leg of my sanity stool.

Ooh, I love Sanity Stool, have you heard their new single?

Damnit I’ve said this exact thing.
Or after the short dance I’ll just point a direction and be like “I’ll go that way”
Those are literally the only two options. Super polite and wordy, or awkward and asocial.

IIRC they were elephants originally, but the Europeans didn't know what an elephant was. Forgot about Hannibal, I guess.

Replacing the elephant really was throwing salt in the wound

No, the rooks where the ones who were elephants. Towers atop battle elephants.

Actually they're called Gallahop and Daughter of Gallahop.

When your phone screen is so dirty that the smudge shows up on screenshots

Nah that's your screen. This screenshot seems clean to me
