In English, was the fruit named for the color, or the color named for the fruit? My helpmate doesn't know.

[She's talking about "orange."

Lika, keepin' it topical.]

...the hell're you talkin' 'boot, woman?

[yousoundblue]

Hello, Torn! When did you get back?

I mean orange.

[sandpaperbreath]

Lil' while ago.

Whaddabout 'orange'?

[yousoundblue]

Is the color named for the fruit, or the fruit for the color?

[nashidesei]

The color was named for the fruit. From the Spanish naranja.

[yousoundblue]

[A pause while she looks up "Spanish," which is deader than disco in her time.]

Oh, I see. Thanks!

QUIT BEING SO HARD TO WRITE.

GET OUT MORE. MAKE FRIENDS.

GODDAMN YOU.

[yousoundblue]

That's not very polite.

[luna_kitsu_blu]

It's not that don't love you. Quite the opposite, really.

Go have sex with Midna 8>

[yousoundblue]

Who's Midna? Do you think we'd be compatible?

[diligoimortalis]

I'm not quite sure. I'm sorry.

[yousoundblue]

That's fine, someone else knew.

[diligoimortalis]

Good, good! I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help. My tutor didn't go over why exactly a fruit and color was named because of the fruit or...um, color.

[yousoundblue]

I don't think a language should have two meanings for a single word, anyway.

d-don't you mean "tropical" 8D;;

[otana]

You're so cute!
