a swimming muscle that hugs first and asks no questions ever.
means A very large, non-venomous South American snake that kills its prey by constriction, especially the semi-aquatic green anaconda of the Amazon basin.
from The name's roots are tangled. It first appeared in 18th-century English describing a giant snake of Sri Lanka, possibly from a Sinhala or Tamil word — one suggestion is Sinhala 'henakandaya,' a whip-snake, or Tamil 'anaikondran,' loosely 'elephant-killer.' Somewhere along the way the word leapt continents, abandoning Asia entirely and attaching itself to the great constrictors of South America, where it has stayed ever since.
