It’s just a knight with a coconut shell.
These horses were knighted. Be respectful and call them by their title!

It's Lieutenant Peanut Butter!
"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
That's clearly the rook jumping over the king
They actually do that narrow hallway awkward press your body against the wall and shuffle pass thing.
Ope, I'll just scooch right by ya there
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.
Ope,
Do they do crotch-to-crotch?
Now, what does it remind you? A KNIGHT jumping around like a kid?

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.
It’s called a horsey, silly
You tho thilly! ☺

It should be a dude on a horse.
Actually, they didn't manufacture the chess pieces... so not really...
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
