(But I can't promise you about the more metaphorical baggage though.)
1. "It's a bloody rambutan, you friggin'--!" cried
drquinzel, as she,
chromie and I were hanging out on FT Day, waiting for my laundry to dry (really), watching Ugly Betty. It was the episode where Betty came up with a 'Sizzling Hot Fruit', a decision of course that could not be made without having a mise-en-scene of the weird fruits she and her family had to go through first.
You only get one guess which Weird Fruit(tm) get centre stage. :D
After dismissing the durian (HAAAAAAHAHA) and the longan (that's what we call it; I can't remember what they use, I only recall 'mata kucing' in the subs) as being too smelly or weird-tasting, respectively, her father suggested the tico berry, a Brazilian fruit.
"Hey... isn't that the
rambutan?"
"It looks like it."
*episode continues tico berry exposition*
"Could it be that it has a different name in Brazil.
horusporus, google it!"
"Heh, it's
fictional."
"CIS! First they dissed our durian and longan, and now they're stealing our rambutan!"
To be honest, I never realised her depth of feeling on the subject of fruit.
Still, at least they're Weird Fruits of Another Region, not Weird Fruits
FROM THE PEGASUS GALAXY. XDXD
