As with most words, context is important and I'm pretty sure that even botanists call pumpkins vegetables when talking about eating them for dinner.

Vegetable is largely a culinary and cultural term, not a taxonomical one, so he's right despite the sacred word of the Mayo Clinic.

Basically, if it tastes sweet, we call it a fruit. Otherwise it's a vegetable. Strawberries and tomatoes are both seed-bearing fruiting bodies, but are categorized based on their taste. People are playing semantics with technical versus common usage of words.

This is equivalent to creationists saying evolution is "just a theory."

Fruits are fruiting bodies. Vegetables are edible plant parts which are not fruiting bodies. It's not that loving hard and takes genuine talent to gently caress up something so simple so badly, like taking a dump on the toilet and finding a turd on the roof.

That is the technical usage of the term. That is not the common usage of the term.

Words have different meaning, depending on the context. Who knew? Crazy, man.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
