In the US and Canada that was eventually called canola oil due to the... um... first four letters of the original word. The etymology...
Based Canada? Wtf I love Canada now
Oh so thats canola oil the crunchy people where whining about. The conflation of rpeseed to rpe is only in english no?
It's called rapsi in my native language and most definitely has nothing to do with ****. The word comes from latin and basically means turnip.
That's a good question. But I have no idea.
I don't think the word here has anything to do with uhm, what I think you are implying.
In my language this plant is called rapsi. Has no connection whatsoever to sv.
This synonym for "miserly" has nothing to do with the N-word, etymologically speaking, but there's a reason you rarely hear anyone saying it nowadays unless they're intentionally being edgy.
It doesn’t but it’s more an optics thing. The word canola was specifically adopted by advertisers in 1978 to avoid the perceived connection to the obvious one. A committee of ad men basically didn’t want to their product to be associated with that word, which was probably a smart move
Canola means Canadian oil, low acid, btw
It was renamed due to the connotation of those four letters.
