Did you know (I didn‘t) that the cashew is not a nut? It‘s the seed of a cashew apple, classified as a “drupe.” The book, “A Tree a Day,” inspired me to research this - there is a page devoted to The Cashew of Pirangi in Brazil - it‘s enormous! #naturalitsy #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

CBee @lil1inblue yay! 😀 21h

TheBookHippie I am loving this book! 20h

Megabooks I did know this, and it‘s very cool! Like how the tomato is actually a fruit. Or mushrooms are sexual organs. 😳 20h

Deblovestoread I just learned this yesterday as I caught up in my reading 🤯

A Tree a Day: 365 of the World�s Most Majestic Trees

peanutnine Okay this explains why I'm allergic to nuts except I can eat cashews just fine! 19h

AllDebooks That's fabulous 👌 19h

Jas16 I had no idea! 19h

MonicaLoves2Read I didn't know that. Don't you love learning stuff from reading? I do! 18h

dabbe Very interesting! I love learning new things! 😍 16h

CatLass007 Cool. 16h

CBee @Megabooks wait, mushrooms? Omg 🫣🫣😂😂 15h

CBee @Deblovestoread I didn‘t read it for three months so I just started with July - that NY “resolution” didn‘t last long 😂 15h

CBee @peanutnine oh wow! I actually read you shouldn‘t eat cashews if you‘re allergic to nuts which is odd. And even more interesting is that you CAN eat them! Cashews are yummy. (edited) 15h

Deblovestoread @Megabooks Sat what now? I will never look at a mushroom the same again 🤣🤣🤣 15h

CBee @Deblovestoread I KNOW 🍄 🫣 13h

Megabooks “Therefore, a mushroom is more like a genderless fungus penis…” https://www.mycopia.com/blog/1120 Biology is Wild!! @cbee @Deblovestoread 9h

CBee @Megabooks can I use “fungus penis” as an insult? Cause that‘s like, golden 😂😂😂 8h

I never have a word for #weirdwords but thanks to the tagged book I now do! Though it‘s probably not weird for a musician.

CBee I remember this word!! I‘m a lapsed musician, I guess you could say. Want me to add you to my tag list? 1w

Sace @CBee sure! But I don‘t know how often I‘ll have a word. 1w

CBee @Sace no worries! Post when you find a goodie 😊 1w

I know I‘ve done an interesting color words post before, but I just LOVE unique words for colors. Here are a few, and here‘s an article to read: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/59328/19-colors-youve-probably-never-heard
Who knew “puke” and “xanadu” were colors? #weirdwords #weirdwordswednesday
