This page should be merged.

It should be relocated at Gorilla because the insult isn't a separate term, it's just instances of people comparing someone to a gorilla. Or would we create Dalek (insult) because of the Doctor's "the little Daleks!" line in Series 7?…

The term "gorilla" was an epithet or insult, indicating a person — usually male — who was ugly or brutish. Rose Tyler described Darren Pye as looking like a shaved gorilla, "only not as handsome." (PROSE: Winner Takes All)

In Charnage Hospital in 1917, Ace comtempuously referred to the soldiers under Lance-Corporal Burridge's command as his "trained gorillas". (AUDIO: No Man's Land)

In Monte Carlo in 1966, Peri Brown compared Gavin Walker's security guards to gorillas. This confused Erimem, who believed that she was talking about the animal. (AUDIO: The Veiled Leopard)
