Hey asshole, people live within the context of their own lives, not yours. I have no fucking pet project, I'm an American, this is an American publication, someone in the comments got the math wrong because they were using SI calorie for the colloquial American term for kilocalorie (or at least, that would explain a three digit shift easily).
Don't insult me just because you didn't understand. Get clarification, you fuck.
Unless you have another, separate word for the color that you don't have for the fruit, I'm not certain the relevance.
The eggplant looks like an egg when it's growing. It's such a wonderfully descriptive word that came to English first. Aubergine is a French many-times-borrowed word from Arabic. Very pretty word, but not super great identifier for the fruit. Thus it is just the name for the color (in my mind and in North America)
... the lightning struck. If you're looking for some greater pattern there... flappy bird is from a different time. Anything you could've learned from it is no longer relevant.
All of the democratic socialist countries would like a word. Unfortunately, the CIA already killed them all.
Edit: To clarify, capitalism + democracy goes out of its way to fuck any other burgeoning system from getting its legs. So, I don't think it's fair to state "it's the least worst".
As an atheist, kindly shut up. Religion isn't uniquely evil or anything. It's like any other human institution, which means it's susceptible to corruption and control.
When you talk about it like this, you're not helping to deprogram anyone. You just look like a high and mighty ass.
Yeah, legally. But not colloquially. This is a colloquial publication (Forbes). They used calorie knowing Americans would know it as a Calorie or kcal
