Have you ever wondered why roses are called roses and why the opium plant is called opium. Like, there must be a group of people out there somewhere who sat down together over a cup of coffee and decided the names for such stuff.
Then it struck me, they usual name them after some scientific name which came from some Latin name. So which one exactly is the source? Did you know that the scientific name for a rose is actually
Rosa multiflora? I'm not kidding. Google it and you'll probably find out more.
So why have scientific names? Or just imagine if they didn't simplified it, the guys would be going,
"Honey, would you like a bouquet of Rosa multiflora for Valentine's day?"That would be so hard to remember.
So now, I'll show you an unedited picture which I got from Mustafa Centre. And I swear I didn't even touch it. It's a pure picture. Have a look.
HORNY GOAT WEED, SATISFACTION ASSURED???
Whoever came up with that name? What were they thinking?! Alright, so this is what I found out from this website,
http://anrvitamins.com/glossary/hornyg.html.
Apparently its a form of vitamin. I'll quote from site.
Used as an aphrodisiac; increases blood flow to the genital area, which improves sexual energy and pleasure to both men and women; lowers blood pressure by dilating capillaries and blood vessels; slows adrenal production that can hinder blood flow to the sex organs.But why HORNY GOAT WEED?
Then I was thinking maybe they named it after looking at the characteristics of a goat. Why not call it HORNY MONKEYS WEED? Or maybe cause Goats lick the area first before going down to business?
Whatever it is, it sure is funny.
"Dude, what's that?""It's my vitamins""What's in it?""Horny Goat Weed" Try it! Makes you horny!"And please guys, if you've eaten it, please please please don't go to Mustafa Center to get condoms. Why? Cause they ran out of it....!!
