Morituri:
Is there any kind of actual content at knowyourmeme.com?  I'd never heard of that one so I popped over to look at what they had to say, and ... it looks like they don't say anything? There's just a bunch of mixed advertising and social-media links, no actual content?

Tova:
The entry that I read was:

Nobody

Whether this rates as "content" is perhaps up for debate.  :lol:

Is it cold in here?:
Doesn't the word "pangolin" sound like it should be the name of a musical instrument?

pwhodges:
The nearest I can find is:

Pagolo or Pangolo:
polyheterochord musical bow of New Britain, East New Guinea, and New Ireland, with 2 strings and tuning loop, but no resonator.  In New Britain it has been obsolete since the 1880s, when it was supplanted by the Jew's-harp.  In New Guinea it is played by women only.

(Sibyl Marcuse: Musical Instruments, A Comprehensive Dictionary, 1964)

Tova:
Although your guess is lexicographically closer, I'd guessed that he was thinking of a mandolin.
