Orange, cherry, blackberry, etc.

I'm pretty sure orange and cherry are named after the fruit, but Blackberry is true.
-
-
Blackberries

Even if those leaves were a fruit, they're not called greens. Some kinds of leaves are called that as a general term, but not the ones in the picture. He's wrong on so many levels!

Is that what he was saying? That's what I was confused about. Those leaves are not greens. They are green, but still everything you said.

Greengages.

Leaves are fruits? Eh?

If he's pretending to be this dumb, he's hilarious.

Green beans are technically fruits

Here we go

fruits are kind of a dessert, right? so are brownies.
-
Greengage?
-
Yellow squash

Does green apple count? It feels like an adjective but considering there's "green apple" flavored candy, I'd consider it a part of the noun.
-
I think the name for that variety is Granny Smith. The reason why it isn't called "Granny-Smith-flavored candy" will be left as an exercise for the reader.

Red apple, green apple red strawberries, yellow strawberries, red tomatoes, green tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, purple tomatoes (although purple isn't a real color by itself). Oh and red berries.
You might argue it's not the fruit's name, but when you say "honny, can you get me some apples from the store while you're going there please?" and she comes back with green apples, while you wanted red apples, you'd be like "fuck. I should have named it better, I only asked for half the name of what I wanted, now I need to hit my wife to blame her and hide my mistake". So my point here is, not naming the color of the fruit in its name is the cause for domestic violence.

I mean, orange was right there...
Which is a colour named after the fruit iirc
It is! We could use redcurrants, blackcurrants, and blackberries though
A fact that I hadn't realized. TIL.
Holy fuck
And the fruit is named after the tree.
Engagement bait.
right on. this tweet is like saying "there's not a single country in africa that starts with the letter K." there obviously is, but it's targeting people who are knowledgable enough to know the answer but not intelligent enough to understand the point of the tweet.
I’m already married.
Just a little fun fact: the color was actually named after the fruit and not the other way around :D
“The word "orange" came into English from the Old French "pomme d'orenge", which referred to the fruit.”
There are still blackberries though…
But aren't oranges actually green?
*Not a joke, btw. Oranges grown in tropical places are green.
Oranges are green until they are ripe. What tropical place did you see a ripe green orange?
It might depend on the variety, there are many, many kinds of oranges.
Even if they were, they're not called greens.
I think this might have been a joke abstracted to allude to that, without falling for the trap. Oranges were not named after the color, the color was named after the fruit.
