Huh. So what would a male version of 'Maria' be?

Maria, actually.

Maria is used as a part of masculine given names in Roman Catholic tradition. Examples include the Dukes of Milan Gian Maria Visconti (1388–1412) and Filippo Maria Visconti (1392–1447), Italian composers Giovanni Maria Nanino (1543/4–1607) and Giovanni Maria Trabaci (c. 1575–1647), English colonist Edward Maria Wingfield (1550– 1631), Italian painter Antonio Maria Vassallo (c. 1620-1664/1673), German composer Carl Maria von Weber (1786–1826), French physicist André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), German-language poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926), French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen (b. 1928), etc.

In correct etymology realization news, I just realized "quesadilla" is ultimately derived from "queso"...because it contains cheese you see. Not sure how it took me thirty years to land that nugget but here we are.

Actually it comes from the Spanish inventor, Quesaba Cruz, He based the new treat on an admiral hat, and named it after himself. :eng101:

My friend, you have stumbled upon the Mexican equivalent of that old "beans in chili" can of worms.

You see, peeps in Mexico City think it's cool and good to have quesadillas without cheese, going so far as to justify their barbaric actions with phony etymological origins like "no no, it's actually derived from Quetzal...!" (How a tiny bird relates to a quesadilla is anybody's guess)

Now, if you ask "Wait, isn't a cheese-less quesadilla a taco?", the rest of the country will answer "well motherfuckin' DUH!"

A taco is more of a hot dog, as the shell is connected, like a hot dog bun.

A sandwich that's connected is a fold-over.

Wikipedia posted:

The player takes the role of Giana (referred to as Gianna in the scrolling intro and also the intended name before a typo was made on the cover art and the developers just went with that rather than having the cover remade[1]), a girl who suffers from a nightmare, in which she travels through 32 dungeons full of monsters, while collecting ominous diamonds and looking for her sister Maria. If the player wins the final battle, Giana will be awakened by her sister.[2]

Not a factual thing, but whatever:

I just realized what the deal is with this guy who comes into my local Starbucks that nobody (including the staff) like, but can't kick him out because he doesn't do anything wrong.

Before today, this is all I knew about him was that he's an older gentleman with boundary/social issues (these things in my ears mean I don't want to talk, please don't inform me of what movies you are excited for for the umpteenth time) who always has at least two bibles and at least one book about the Bible.

Turns out, he's a goddamned Biblical doomsday predictor. What the Christ, pun not intended.

"Tiny Trains"

Every town and district of a city absolutely requires at least one bible doomsday guy. Sandwich board, megaphone, shouting on the street corner, handing out fliers, driving around in a car/van totally covered with hand-painted doomsday poo poo about HAARP and SOROS mixed in with bible quotes. I've never been anywhere that didn't have at least one of these guys.

Could it be Quetzal as in Quetzalcoatl, the awesome dragon-bird-god said to have given humans corn (also tequila according to some art)? Cause you can't make the tortillas out of any other grain, especially flour; that'd be truly barbaric.

I thought chilaquiles was cut tortillas simmered in sauce with meat occasionally tossed in. At least, that's what its always been since I was a kid.

No, that guy running around being Jesus was actually named after Josh!

"Joshua" is a Jewish name. It's "Yehoshua" in Hebrew. There's an entire book of the Old Testament called Joshua, after the main character.

A thousand years after that, some Jewish heretic with the same name gets told on by the Jewish religious authorities, becomes a martyr, and a splinter faction of Judaism forms. Two thousand years later it's still going and that Josh is popularly known by the Anglicised version of the Greek version of his name, but meanwhile Orthodox Jews still name their kids Joshua after Joshua.

Migas is Spanish (Castellano) for bread crumbs, but also refers to the delicious Mexican dish! :eng101:
