https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D8%B3%D8%AD%D9%84%D8%A8#ArabicIn English the old name for orchid was "ballockwort" orchid derives from the Ancient Greek word meaning testicles. Which is why the euphemism for castration is Orchiectomy.the Irish word for orchid derives from the irish word for testicles.as does the Arabic word, admittedly fox testicles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintus_Fabius_PictorFabius wrote a history of Rome some time between 215 and 200 BC.[10][3] His work was certainly published before 192 BC, either during or shortly after the Second Punic War.[11][12] Bruce W. Frier has proposed a publication date no later than 213.[13][7] Fabius' history was written in Greek, which was at that time the only language suitable to reach a large educated public in Italy, Greece and elsewhere in the Mediterranean world.[14][2] The Latin annales ascribed to a Fabius are thus most likely a later translation of his history, or perhaps a draft of his work in Latin later edited posthumously.[15][7][16] In the words of Arnaldo Momigliano, "under the impact of Hellenisation the natives of many countries were persuaded to rethink their national history and to present it in the Greek language to the educated readers of a multinational society."Some scholars have also argued that his history of Rome may have been primarily intended for an Hellenist audience.Fabius was influenced by Greek historiographical methods, especially that of the Sicilian Greek historian Timaeus.Other Greek authors such as Antiochus of Syracuse and Diocles of Peparethus had already written about the mythical origins of Rome, and Fabius was also influenced by them.For instance, his narrative of the legendary overthrow of Amulius by Romulus and Remus was taken from Diocles.His views of Roman history as a closed unity in search for social meaning were biased towards his nation, and probably emerged as a nationalistic reaction influenced by the conflict between Rome and Carthage, especially the political turmoil that followed the defeat of Cannae in 216 BC. Beck writes that "the work’s apologetic tone, its idealization of the republic as a well-ordered state, and the emphasis on Rome’s loyalty to its allies all seem to support this view, suiting an effort at damage-control immediately after Cannae." According to scholar John Briscoe, "his reasons for writing in Greek were both literary—the possibility of writing in Latin did not occur to him—and political, the need to defend Roman policy to the Greek world."[16] However, Momigliano contends that the available Fabius's fragments recounting contemporary events appear "objective and serene ... [and show] that Fabius was in no hurry to present the Carthaginians to the Greek public as collectively responsible for the beginning of the Second Punic War."LegacyFabius' portrayal of the Siege of Saguntum as the cause of the Second Punic War, dismissing Hannibal's attack as sweeping "injustice", soon became the dominant view among ancient historians.[7] In the early 2nd century BC, Roman historians Lucius Cincius Alimentus and Gaius Acilius were highly influenced by Fabius in matters of language, form, and theme.The annals [Fabius] produced inaugurated a new type of national history, less antiquarian than the local chronicles of the Greek states, more concerned with the continuity of political institutions than most of the Greek general histories we know. The Romans could not remain bound to the notion of contemporary history because they had a profound sense of tradition and continuity. They might be uncritical about their own past, but they felt they had to narrate their own history ab urbe condita, from the beginnings. The annals from the origins of Rome were the most characteristic product of their historiography ... Roman traditionalism had inspired the Annals of the Pontiffs. Fabius Pictor kept it alive while accepting the methods, and to a great extent the contents, of Greek political history. Fabius invented national history for the Latin West. Thereby he created the form for the expression of national consciousness: possibly he contributed to the creation of national consciousness itself, such as we understand it.Fabius was used as a source by Polybius, Livy, Gellius, Quadrigarius, Plutarch, and Dionysius of Halicarnassus. Despite his use of Fabius's history, Polybius complained about the quality of his work, saying that he had been biased towards the Romans and inconsistent.Cicero spoke harshly of early Roman historians: "Let me remind you that in the beginning the Greeks themselves also wrote like our Cato, Pictor, and Piso. History was nothing more than a compilation of yearly chronicles..."An anonymous Account of the Roman History of Fabius Pictor was published in 1749, claiming that a manuscript in the "Carthaginian language" had been discovered in the ruins of Herculaneum near Pompeii. In fact, it was a political satire on English religion and politics at the time

@Spring It's funny because the other day i was reading about the associations of orchid in chinese culture (how it's this virtuous plant that survives on no food, like a scholar/gentleman who is still virtuous and learned despite poverty)and orchid has almost the opposite association in both Indo-European and Semitic languages.

@Spring to me the orchid is a particularly needy plant that requires a lot help from humans (think of orchids kept in a green house). yet in chinese culture it has opposite associatons.

@Hollahollara saying women don't have penises-totally the same thing as strapping explosives to yourself and walking into a pizza parlour.
