Amazing displays of ignorance
Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

I'm lacking a suitable noun...
I tend to agree with you, but unless you know that the ending "ese" may mean from you're pretty stumped. I wish I could recall a not so obvious noun which turns out to be an adjective.
I suppose what I was getting at is that some of us are lucky enough to know that these names come from places so we take it for granted.
In a reverse of the above, I wouldn't think much less of someone because they didn't know chicken Kiev was from M&S and not the Ukrain.
