Motivational speakers often use various animals to describe the potential that's inside the people that they are lecturing. One such animal is the tiger. Various metaphors about tigers probably inspired the "Eye of the Tiger" song because such lecturers talk about inner strength and untapped potential. Recently, memes about motivational speakers telling their audience about the tigers inside them have resulted in memes saying that the tigers in them are either the German Tiger Tanks of World War 2, or the F-5E fighter jet, or the British warships bearing the name "HMS Tiger" (which is featured in this comic, in particular, the light cruiser with the pennant number C20), or the Eurocopter Tiger helicopter gunship, or an overweight tiger, or a literal "paper tiger" (Yes, origami tigers do exist), or the derpy tiger from the Hojak-Do minhwa that was the inspiration for the tiger named Derpy from K-Pop Demon Hunters, or even Derpy himself from the aforementioned K-Pop Demon Hunters, or Pokemon's Incineroar, who has always been touted as the John Cena of Pokemon reps in the Super Smash Bros series.
If I had a tiger inside me, that tiger was a cruiser that never had a chance to fire its guns in anger against Argentina, Iraq or Russia.
