vagina

The SMBC comic from a few days ago goes like this: Something didn’t seem right about the whole thing but SMBC is usually grounded on at least some fact, so I decided to explore, and it turned out to be more interesting than I had earlier thought. It turns out that the term vanilla (used to describe the beans) does come from the Latin root vagina, but it’s not as simple as that.

As you may have read, Facebook has attracted the anger of—and I swear there is no other way to put it—the Chutiya community from Assam by blocking many Facebook profiles which mentioned Chutiya as their last name. This is of course a bit ironic coming from a company who’s CEO’s sister is named Randi (Hindi insult meaning prostitute), but let’s not digress. For those who don’t know Hindi, Chutiya is an expletive that means fool/idiot but is pretty offensive and insulting.
