I want to take back ‘Retard’. Because I want it to apply to things that are infuriatingly stupid, instead of it being used as a derogatory term towards special needs people.

Pineapple. Just use ananas like the rest of the world.
It’s not from a pine tree and it’s not an apple.
Way too close to bananas for my liking.
Yeah, “Can you go to the store to grab anananas?” is going to get me to bring bananas home every time.
What we’ve got isnt too close to apples?
I have the same issue with Kansas and Arkansas.
not sure what “rest of the world” is because there’s so many languages. i know that portuguese calls it “abacaxi” (“xi” is pronounced “she”)
Ah, there’s an old image showing this. I guess it’s not ananas in every language, but it is a lot of them!
Here’s the image
Portuguese is even on this list, but modified with (eu). What does that mean?
Probably, like Spanish, that it has a separate language spun off in Latin America that’s “the same language” but only mostly. I think they branch more than, e.g., a southern dialect vs England, but I don’t know enough of the different versions to know if that’s real or not.
EU means Europe (so european portuguese), which has a few more pronounced differences compared to brazilian portuguese compared to the difference between US english and UK english
