    What is this meme talking about?

    The name of order Pholidota comes from Ancient Greek Φολιδωτός – “clad in scales” from φολίς pholís “scale”.

    The name “pangolin” comes from the Malay word pengguling meaning “one who rolls up” from guling or giling “to roll”;

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangolin#Etymology

    Constantine Rafinesque (1821) formed the Neo-Latin generic name Phataginus from the French term phatagin, adopted by Count Buffon (1763) after the reported local name phatagin or phatagen used in the East Indies.

      It seems to be about phonetics and association:

      Phat-aginus -> “Fat vaginas” -> Super-FUPA, where FUPA apparently is the medical acronym for Fat Upper Pubic Area
