Tarzan and Jane
Vine-swinging lovebirds
Tarzan and Jane refers to the fictional couple from Edgar Rice Burroughs's novels—a feral man raised by apes and the civilized woman he loves.
The phrase evokes a primal romantic dynamic or jungle adventure: They built a treehouse and lived like Tarzan and Jane.
It can suggest an idealized escape from modern life or, sometimes mockingly, an overly simple masculine-feminine pairing.
