Actually, the word "grenade" comes from "pomegranate". I think "granada" is Spanish for pomegranate, and people thought early grenades looked like pomegranates. I guess before that they called them small-explosive-things?
You shove those religious women. Hahahaha. You know you always want to...
Wikipedia writes: The word "grenade" is derived from the Old French (pome) grenate ("pomegranate"), in reference to the general size of early grenades, and because its shrapnel pellets reminded soldiers of the seeds of this fruit.
Oh, incidentally, that TV thing is from The Devil Wears Prada, I think, and the line definitely made me laugh and then feel bad about the world and then laugh again and then I think I ate a popsicle but sometimes I get confused about sequences...
