I had the perfect name for a Saiyan in my head. But when I got to the character creation screen I got a sensory overload and couldn't remember the name. I panicked trying to remember a vegetable and then every one that came to mind had already been used... except "Cabbage". So I named my guy "Bacage," which is an awful name. And the kicker is, immediately after doing that I remembered that "Nappa" is a pun on a Chinese cabbage.
GG Xenoverse, you beat me that time.

They are wearing the exact same clothes.
Well, not the exact same clothes, but similar enough. How did I never notice that?
One Strip! One Strip!Well, no, there is a biological one- a fruit is the ovary of a plant, a vegetable is any other part of the plant.
It's a fairly arbitrary distinction to classify plant parts by if you ignore culinary applications, but it definitely can be quantified.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Actually, some fruits, including squashes, are classed as vegetables.
There's no such thing as a vegetable in biology.
Vegetable is not, in any sense, a scientific term. Purely a culinary one.
Cucumbers are also classified as vegetables in culinary terms but are fruits scientifically.
Vegetable has to do with how something is prepared.
Fruits are sweet and are typically served with breakfast and dessert. Vegetables are usually served with lunch and dinner.
Tomatoes are vegetables in culinary use and for tariff purposes.
The only time scientists try to use "vegetable" for some botanical purpose is when we're being extremely petty and trying to start shit, usually about things we consider fruits botanically. Because some of us never actually learned that sometimes words can mean different things in different contexts.

I mean being technical in the sense that "well, you know X thing can be scientifically labeled a 'vegetable' even though everyone considers it a fruit". That defeats the whole point of the name scheme when you just go out to find technicalities to abuse.
Edit: Guys. Guys. Of course I know about the naming themes. Come on, I may not be here as much as Saiga, but when I do show up it's usually to answer questions.

"If you weren't so crazy I'd think you were insane."Today, we have learned about Toriyama's propensity for naming themes. In other news, Dragon Ball is a shonen manga, Goku really loves food, and Frieza is a jerk.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.

When Ultimate Tenkaichi came out I named my Saiyan Korin (corn)
