    “Meatball” is probably the laziest named food after “Orange”.

    But did you know the fruit was called an orange a few hundred years before the first recorded use of orange as a color?

    Actually they named the tree, then the fruit, then the color. The old word for the color was geoluread (yellow-red)

    Orange glad you knew that?

    Look lady we're not talking about trees here! The tree/fruit thing is kind of a technicality anyways. It'd be dumb to name it an orange tree but then call the fruit something else.

    The fruit was called [in translation] "apple of the orange tree" as all/most fruits were called some sort of "apple"

    Now you're just comparing apples and oranges.

    We could all agree the disappointment once "ice ice baby" comes on the radio thinking it's "Under Pressure".

    Everyone hates Mondays because it’s the day you have to go back to work. But Mondays are sometimes long weekends. Tuesdays are the real *kitten*. You mostly never get Tuesdays off.

    I get the Tuesday after Christmas off

    Oh yeah. Maybe it should be changed to Wednesdays. But I've gotten a Wednesday off before. In fact we get Wednesday off for July 4th in 2018.

    It's all a conspiracy by Big NASA to sell more globes

    All the pictures of the Earth or any planet I've ever seen are flat.
