Very Strange Names Login/Join

I was looking at a bag of M&M, the chocolate covered peanuts.

On the bag is says SODANESE BEANS.

Locally, we call peanuts MONKEY SHIT.

Pistachios we call HORSE'S TEETH.

I am not kidding, going to the shop and asking for monkey shit and horse's teeth is what we do if we wanted peanuts and pistachios.

Then I remembered that we call the CALF on one's leg TUNA!

Why do you call it CALF and us TUNA?

Very strange!

I have heard cashews referred to as, well, it’s an inappropriate term probably used only in the southern US.

Well. if you look in the Austin.Tx. phonme book you will find someone called Henadore Titzoff. A 'buddy?' brought this to my attention + asked me to pronounce it ,; I did + he said, no, you got it all wrong, it's pronounced "He gnawed her tits off!" I suppose we all have friends like that somewhere.

DRSS, I can only assume that you are referring to "nigger toes" which is NOT a cashew but is known as a Brazil nut. Damned tasty too.!

I hear I thought we might be discussing names used by certain areas in the US.

Yes, the cashew. I held back in fear of being banned.

Thank goodness I don’t know any Brazilian nuts.

I am very sorry to admit that I knew Brazil nuts by the term Randy used, but have not heard it in 50 years. If I had used it at home as a kid, my parents would have censured me very firmly.

I know, Bill. When I was a kid my dad called my homemade slingshot a nxxxershooter. My Mom was appalled at the term. Well, he was from Texas + she from Ohio. Perhaps that was the difference.

I’m from the same era, that’s what Brazil nuts were called by everyone I knew (black folks, too) oddly enough two weeks ago in Mozambique one of the PH’s has a macadamia farm, he was describing the macadamia nut and said the shell was as hard as a US nigger toe. Hadn’t heard that in a long time…

Well, Karl, since you live in Texas then you are already aware that we have wildflowers in the spring by the same name.

I do get some but primarily my place is covered with bluebonnets + Indian Paintbrushes. Some years better than others. I don't worry about the lean years since they have been growing here before folks arrived.
