words, words, words

was talking with my girlfriend and her roommate earlier this week, and we came to this startling revelation:

ever notice that, no matter what the language, the fruit orange and the color orange are always related?

i wonder why… it would make sense if there were no other orange things in the world besides oranges…but there are: birds, flowers, sunsets, sunrises, pollens, molds…

what’s the meaning of it all?

here are the languages i know this is true for:

  • english
  • spanish
  • chinese
  • french
  • latin
  • turkish
  • arabic


ok, so that’s not exactly comprehensive…can anyone add any more?
