I think it was just spelled phonetically, their language describes sounds

    I think it works because tiramisu and tyrannosaurus are both loan words in Korean and English, from Italian and Greek (sortof, from tyrannos (tyrant) and sauros (lizard))

    Tiramisu is 티라미수 and tyrannosaurus is 티라노사우루스 in Korean
