regardless of the name of the vegetable?

To be honest, after 'plum' I couldn't think of another shade of purple to use for the purposes of the lame joke, and that's what popped into my head.

Possibly you are correct
Eggplant is just one of those words that annoys me more than it should. I really don't see a) what's wrong with aubergine and b) how the fuck it's an egg-plant

Eggplant refers to the fruits of some 18th century European cultivars which were yellow or white and resembled goose or hen's eggs
Yes, I am reading the wikipedia page on aubergines. What of it eh?
