    I hope his biology teacher sees this post and beats him with his biology school book.

        They are the French. Don’t expect them to be reasonable.

        It comes from Latin “malum terrae”, which has been attested in French since 1488 to designate various tuber or bulb plants

            It appears to be a music album. I didn’t even know they were plants, much less vegetables!

              The English phrase that seems to most accurately translate is horse apples.

              You didn’t dive deep enough; the album is named after something.

        If they used this book to teach biology, one should hit the teacher instead.

      Big Yud was homeschooled after biting a maths teacher.

      This fact makes it into his Harry Potter fan fic as a self insert.

        That’s just another reason why homeschooling is a bad idea.
