Minnesota interesting. It does pique one’s interest.
Sorry, eggplant is a better name for them. Aubergine is just a color.

Edit: To clarify, capitalism + democracy goes out of its way to fuck any other burgeoning system from getting its legs. So, I don’t think it’s fair to state “it’s the least worst”.

As an atheist, kindly shut up. Religion isn’t uniquely evil or anything. It’s like any other human institution, which means it’s susceptible to corruption and control.
When you talk about it like this, you’re not helping to deprogram anyone. You just look like a high and mighty ass.

Unless you have another, separate word for the color that you don’t have for the fruit, I’m not certain the relevance.
The eggplant looks like an egg when it’s growing. It’s such a wonderfully descriptive word that came to English first. Aubergine is a French many-times-borrowed word from Arabic. Very pretty word, but not super great identifier for the fruit. Thus it is just the name for the color (in my mind and in North America)
