“The tennis match was like a war.”

Please see the movie Capt Jack and use of words: guerrilla vs gorilla

gorilla/ guerrilla. You might see a gorilla in a zoo, but a guerrilla (sometimes spelled with one “r”), is someone who belongs to a group of independent fighters. ... Guerrilla comes from the Spanish word for a war made up of skirmishes. That guerilla is related to guerra for (you guessed it), war.
gorilla vs. guerrilla

When I was a little kid I remember listening one day to the news on the radio in my Dad’s car as we were driving somewhere. They were talking about U.S. soldiers engaging in gunfire with “gorillas” in the Dominican Republic. I honestly thought they were talking about simian primates with guns.
