Quennon Tuprier did, actually. But it didn't start off as an orange. He originally didn't have a name, and called it the "orange fruit" and would snack on it in secret. One day his wife came out and asked him what he was doing. He started to say "Eating an orange fruit", but before he could get out the "fruit" part, his wife started chasing after him with the broom as he had promised to go to town that day to get some sugar. Thus they became dubbed "orange" by his wife, and everyone picked it up from there.
... And that is the story of why an orange is called an orange.

A lot.
I mean you have the tomato, and it's a fruit. (It has seeds.) Yet, everyone seems to be absolutely convinced that it's a vegatable. I don't know why. Maybe it's because you put tomatoes into salads, and salads are absolutely jammed pack with vegatables. So you know, birds of a feather flock together, so the tomato is a veggie because it hangs with other veggies.
But that's wrong!

Fruit wrote:In botany, a fruit is the ripened ovary, together with its seeds, of a flowering plant. In cuisine, when discussing fruit as food, the term usually refers to just those plant fruits that are sweet and fleshy, examples of which would be plum, apple, and orange. However, a great many common vegetables, as well as nuts and grains, are the fruit of the plants they come from. Fruits that might not be considered such in a culinary context include gourds (e.g. squash and pumpkin), maize, tomatoes, and
Vegetable wrote:Vegetable is a nutritional and culinary term denoting any part of a plant that is commonly consumed by humans as food, but is not regarded as a culinary fruit, nut, herb, spice, or grain. In common usage, vegetables include the leaves (e.g. lettuce), stems (asparagus), roots (carrot) and flowers (broccoli) of various plants. But the term can also encompass non-sweet fruits such as seed-pods (beans), cucumbers, squashes, pumpkins, tomatoes, avocadoes, green peppers, etc., as well as fleshy, immat
Berry wrote:In botany, a berry is the most common type of simple fleshy fruit; one in which the entire ovary wall ripens into an edible pericarp. The ovary is always superior in these flowers, and they have one or more carpels within a thin covering and very fleshy interiors. The seeds are embedded in the common flesh of an ovary that is either single or multi-carpelate. Examples of berries are grape and tomato, but many other common fruits are considered berries by botanists: the fruit of a citrus, like o
Tomato wrote:The tomato is a plant in the Solanaceae or nightshade family. The taxonomic name is either Solanum lycopersicum or Lycopersicon esculentum depending on the reference. Originating in South and Central America, the tomato is now grown world-wide for its brightly coloured (usually red, from the pigment lycopene) edible fruits. The word tomato is of Nahuatl origin.
