It clearly states that Alvin is associated with "elf friend."
This immediately takes us back to the other Christmas film, Arthur Christmas, as Arthur certainly was the elf's friend, wasn't he?
I really haven't mentioned this previously, but elves are very comparable to demons.
Notice above that it says:
Very much like a demon.
On another note, if you look up chipmunk and microchip, you will see that "chip" comes from the exact same source:
...both coming from the noun, chip:
isn't it cynical how they imply what the chip will do to you? .. chip - WRECKED!
ReplyDeletealso look what I stumbled upon:
ReplyDeleteNot only 'munk' is an old variant of the word monk, which together with chip (which also means beam) gives the 'monk/priest of the (light?) beam' or the 'priest of the upside down cross' but it also comes, in Jewish (Ashkenazic), from the male name M(o)unka, a Czech pet form of Solomon from whom the Windsors claim they descend..

Both above comments are very interesting.
ReplyDeleteHowever, 'chipmunk' gets it's roots from 'chip' and 'mink', not monk.
However, I still think your point is valid.
