In summary, a giant octopus may have been attacking a submarine off of Vancouver Island in search of a date. Some octopuses display bright colors to attract a potential mate. According to Cosgrove, it is difficult to determine the true motivation behind the octopus' actions. The ROV, which was seen smoking afterwards, may have been targeted as a potential girlfriend or meal. However, the term "horngry" was coined to describe the universal state of being male.

A giant octopus may have been looking for a date when it attacked a submarine off of Vancouver Island last fall.

...Some octopuses will show they are interested in mating by flashing bright colours to attract a partner.

..."It could have been looking for a meal or looking for a girlfriend," Cosgrove said. "It's difficult to know what exactly it was doing or why it wanted to make contact with the ROV for whatever reason." [continued]

Well, I had to invent a word to describe the state of being male, so, it works.

Horngry.
