the color orange is named after the fruit, not the other way around:

cuz yellow was named long before bananas were found by white people? also, not all bananas are yellow.

wth is pineapple called pineapple. everyone else agrees on a diff name and English looks stupid.

Yellow was named long?

That makes no sense.

"Look at my yellow penis"

See? That doesn't sound right.

Why do they call it taking a shit if you're not taking it anywhere?

shouldn't they call it leaving a shit?

Don't know the answer, but I do know that an orange is hands down my very favorite fruit. LOVE 'em!!!

Chartreuse is an interesting name. I'm a big fan of green in general. Always had pretty good luck using a chartreuse one of these while trolling for trout.

The Spanish explorers thought pineapple looked like a pine cone, so they called it "pina." The English added "apple" to associate it with juicy delectable fruits. South American Indians had a name for pineapple meaning "fragrant excellent fruit," which became the basis for its botanical name: ananas

I actually knew the first part but not the ananas part

I was always curious why the French word for pineapple was so different as they normally are similar
eg
potato
pomme de terre (earth apple)

I was a chef for almost 10 years; things interest me
