Uh, sorry for possibly seeming dense, but did you mean to write "cobain" there? What does that mean, in this context?

All I can find searching the word is of course about Kurt Cobain ... wondering if you somehow abstracted "all living beings" to "a bit like Kurt Cobain", or something, which would be quite an impressive jump and one I haven't seen before.

Or it's a typo I can't figure out, of course.

I've seen the word "cobain" being used in English as a translation to the Portuguese word "cobaia". It means an animal that is used in scientific experiments.

Autocorrect for “vermin”?
