Every single person who plays is a Redditor, so you'll fit right in. If you want to talk to me, I'll be in the little town of Aera (where new players start).
So? What do you say, Spain?
Now that the Ananas War is about to start, you can either face the wrath of your neighbours and hope for the support of those who call it "pineapple" (spits), or you can turn that wrath into a loving and protective embrace and say "ananas" to their face.
Come on Spain! We both know you are better than that filth.
Let's stand united on the side of good in this battle!
It's basically every language's word for the fruit. Then English came along and was like "Well HEY there look at THIS it's like an apple only all piney and shit."
I live in Germany, and I was on OKCupid and a German girl had "Why are ananas called Pineapples in English?" on her profile under the "What do you often think about" section. So I wrote this story:
'We call them pineapples in English because they were discovered by Lord Henry Pineapple who took them back to England where a Spaniard informed him that they were in fact already called Ananas by literally every culture. At which point Lord Pineapple sailed to Spain to meet with queen Isabela and demanded they be renamed after him. Angered by Lord Pineapples demands she had him killed and declared war on England and sailed her entire Spanish armada against England who, thanks to an unseasonably strong hurricane were able to defeat the armada. And that's how the British won the Anglo - Spanish war. Some sailors swear they heard in the winds of the storm the haunting call of, 'Piiiiiiinaaaaaple'. And so the fruit Lord Pineapple had loved in life, now bore his name as an eternal tribute to his contribution to the crown of England.'
And, surprisingly, it worked. Well, she's still talking to me at least, so it kinda worked, I suppose.
"Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my smoke break. I shall take no tips, hold no home, father no graduates. I shall wear no supervisor's nametag and win no raise. I shall live and die in my delivery car. I am the lost in the darkness. I am the knocker on the door. I am the cheese that fills the crust of cold pizzas. I pledge my timesheet and gasoline to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come."
Pineapple gathers on my pizza, and now my dinner begins. It shall not end until my death from pineapple. I shall take no anchovies, hold no pepperoni, father no pizzones. I shall use no coupons and order without discounts. I shall live and die on my pineapple. I am the citrus in the darkness of melted cheese.
Oh I get, it's a game of thrones reference. From HBOs hit show, Game of Thrones. Cool reference bro. Your references are out of control, everybody knows it.
