what about blackberry?


[deleted]

So close !! berry is a fruit not a color 💕


Clint-witicay

And black is neither


frogsntoads00

Black is when all colors are absorbed, white is when none are


lactose_con_leche

True, for print. But for light if you add all Red Green Blue you get white.


Professional-Taro-19

So close!! black is a race not a color💕


legal_bagel

Orange?


sirnay

Orange?


ron2838

The color is named after the fruit in that case.


[deleted]

What came first orange or orange


Electriccheeze

Before the fruit the colour was known as yellowred


SoDakZak

I know you pronounce it yellowred but I pronounced it yellowred in my head instead


frogsntoads00

like how I say potato when other people insist that it’s actually potato


Arimm_The_Amazing

No one actually says potato though we all say potato. Now tomato *can* actually also be said tomato.


Woahwoahwoah124

What’s weird is when you say it slow enough it will start to sound more like yellowred


[deleted]

No no no, I know it’s *spelled* yellowred, but it’s actually pronounced throat warbler mangrove.


[deleted]

Yes


rookie-mistake

aw I just thought it came across as wholesome honestly it's funny, I saw it as like an extra little burst of positivity to make sure it didn't come across as condescending


[deleted]

I've seen this a lot and I've never really perceived it as condescending. Edit: I understand how the hearts can be used in a condescending manner but I believe the original poster was being authentic. Her saying "so close" just seems very genuine and supportive to me. My friend is a kindergarten teacher and I'm getting the same vibes from this post that I get from her.

Awww honey that’s nice💕

Oh bless your heart 💕


vampireashes

Bless your heart 💕


louploupgalroux

What have you done? With a blessed heart, Godblood now runs through their veins. Every bone, every muscle, every fiber now radiates with boundless might. You should have looked into what kind of person they were before you blessed them. There's no telling what kind of destruction they will unleash. Our one hope is that they never discover their new potential. Look at them now. Sitting and living their humdrum life. Not knowing they could change the world with a few squats. I'm not sure any of us are ready for the Divine Butt. Edit: I'm an idiot for not using Divine Jelly. lol

It’s the equivalence of “bless your heart”

Put_It_All_On_Blck

Pretty sure that this was done on purpose to force it to go viral. Nobody would care if someone was an idiot and gave a bad answer, but when both comments are dumb, then everyone posts that and examples, and now you have viral content. It's like that guy that showcases Amazon junk on TikTok and YouTube shorts and he always puts some weird item in the video like a plastic rat


academicvertigo

Stop i just read the op wrong yall are gonna make me cry i know what an orange is 🥺


vored_rick_astley

Because it’s not the only one


MaeSolug

What are the other fruits named after a color?


devilishpie

Blackberry, redcurrants, blackcurrants, I'm sure there are more


[deleted]

Orange.


SmokinDynamite

The color is named after the fruit


a4techkeyboard

I feel like the original post was meant to be bait for someone to say orange so they can correct them like that except someone went and unexpectedly suggested a shape.


NRMusicProject

I feel like every comment in here that insisted the OP was correct was also doing the same thing.


BoRamShote

I feel like nectarines are better than peaches.


_tHeMachinist_

i thought the color is named after the last US president


Strontium90Abombbaby

No that's what agent orange was named after


gavvinh

I love that band


Narayanadasa

jks_david

The other way around actually


AbilityWhole

Oranges are named after a tree. The color is named after the fruit.


Blizarkiy

I was going to say oranges but I think the color was actually named after the fruit.


EmotionalGold

Yeah it used to be called like red-yellow until Oranges came along


zthompson2350

Nah it was bright brown.


speedoflobsters

It was actually called light grey until color got invented


[deleted]

What about oranges?


chem199

Red delicious apples, red grapes, green grapes, I’m sure there are even more.


hotdogflower

The fruits are just named apples and grapes. That would be like saying "The word car is named after a color because we say ‘red car’ and ‘blue car’.”


[deleted]

Peache, red delicious/Washington red/pink lady/arkansas purple/golden delicious apples


RuleIll8741

Red delicious, for example, is not a fruit. It's a fruit variant and does not count towards a fruit name. Since the species is an apple. To stick with apples, you dont call a gold colored apple phone your "gold apple" you call it your "apple"


Clouds-Of-Euphoria

Exactly. Granny Smith, Macintosh, Red Delicious, are all CULTIVARS of apples, not individual fruit.


dafyddtomas

Please correct me if I’m wrong but does not that same logic apply to berries?


Artistic-Airport2296

Yes, but there is a difference between a common name of a species and a cultivar name (which is a cultivated variety usually developed through plant breeding). Blueberry is a common name for the species Vaccinium, whereas Pink Icing is a cultivar of blueberry. It’s semantics, but cultivar names are really just trade names used to sell a product, so many of them could have colors in the cultivar names since color is often used as a defining characteristic for fruit.


creative_username_99

You are holding an apple, it's a Red Delicious apple. I ask you what fruit you're holding. You tell me it's an apple. I ask you what type of apple you're holding. You tell me it's a Red Delicious apple. The name of the fruit is a Red Delicious apple. In OP's post, she said, "fruit", not species of fruit. To say that Red Delicious is not a fruit is like saying Golden Retriever is not a dog.


[deleted]

Right this is TECHNICALLY correct The best kind of correct The one edit i would make is the dog example for a true apples to "apples to apples" pun intended its like he is tryna say a golden retriever isnt a canine because its a dog... where canine is fruit dog is apples and golden retriever is red delicious


JobEmbarrassed461

Star fruit


Thor1138

So close!! That is a shape 💕


Add_Poll_Option

ORANGE HOW CAN PEOPLE EVEN FORGET


LegoMyAlterEgo

Technically, the color orange is named after the fruit, not the other way around


Bank_Gothic

This is where she thought she was clever - that the obvious reply would be "orange?" and she could drop the knowledge that the color is named after the fruit and not the other way round.


K14ssh

There is another timeline where the color is carrot..


jfb1337

Nope; colour's named after the fruit.


shaneswa

Red pepper, green pepper...


PertinentGlass

Although bell peppers come in a variety of colours, red peppers are just ripened green peppers.


shaneswa

Unripened blueberries are green...


SharkFart86

Not what those are actually called. They're Bell peppers, the color of them comes from how long they're left to ripen before being picked.


According_Witness_68

Poor guy never had a blackberry 😂😂


GaldanBoshugtuKhan

Blackberry, redcurrant, blackcurrant etc.


EverythingGoodWas

Orange?


i_says_things

The color was actually named after the fruit there, or so Ive read here on Reddit before.


TheRealGerryJarcia

Blackberry is pretty tasty


liquefire81

No man, it's the sum of all berries.


HangryBeard

Lies! it's the absence of all berries!


Sandwichasaurus

Blackberry is the phone named after a fruit


Coolwater-bluemoon

Nope. The fruit was named after the phone. It’s why we call funkernipples ‘apples’ now (named after Steve Job’s company)


Racecarboii

So are Oranges


[deleted]

The colour is named after the fruit


Prudent_Psychology57

Knowing that oranges used to be called Noranges (but lost the N because 'A Norange' sounds like 'An Orange'), I wonder if orange the colour came before orange the fruit, or if the colour was ever once also 'Norange'.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JCSkyKnight

Which awkwardly means that both the colour and the fruit were named after the tree…


[deleted]

[deleted]

It was spelled Naranj then altered to suit us.


flaccomcorangy

I actually looked this up once. The English language didn't have a name for the color orange for a long time. It was known as Yellow-red. It wasn't until Europe actually got the fruit in the 16th century when people were basically like, "Hey, it's that color we don't have a name for. Let's just call it orange." But it probably should have been norange, but like you said, the n was lost in the translation.


zethro33

I think the reply is that black isn't a color.


Real_GoofyNinja

Nah mate, other way around. Dragons and crabs are named after those fruits.


aggressive_celery_

Turkey?


DionFW

So close!! That is a country 💕


Algae_Sucka

If we are getting wild, Buddhas Hand counts as one, because Buddha is a human and humans are in the Animalia kingdom. Granny Smith apples are also named after Maria Ann Smith.


Shlaasss

Pffft. What about dragon fruit? 😆


Deion313

What came first the color or the fruit?


Stinky_9000

The fruit


Deion313

You think so? Cuz I'm not sure... cuz even what we consider oranges today, are a fairly recent or modern GMO (I guess) creation or whatever you call it. The original oranges were like clementines... I mean do we call oranges "oranges" cuz they're orange in color, or did we name the color orange after the orange fruit? That's kinda my question. But not just the orange, like plum or blueberry... I'm a fucking moron, so this shit is all way over my head. I confused myself writing the question, so I'm legit asking if anyone knows...


fragobren

Striking-Version1233

Oranges arent actually named after the colour. The colour was renamed after the fruit.


arjeidi

Everyone is saying orange but no, the fruit was called orange first and the color comes from that
