That's probably true, but oddly enough 'an orange' used to be 'a norange'. It was us lazy English that moved it from norange to orange.

The original poster made no joke. In the first pic Falcone and Borsellino, two Italian Judges killed with bombs in the 90', this photo is one the symbols for the "lotta alla mafia" (fight against mafia). In the other photo, some victims of mafia during the years, car bombings of the judges above and a paper with an article on a journalist killed. In Italy the argument "mafia" is no laughing matter, the pain and suffering that it has caused is still strong in the minds of many Italians.

One person thinks it's a serious topic, the other thinks has a different perspective and makes jokes about the mafia. The original poster then posts a bunch of tragedies from the actions of the mafia and then the other poster then makes an even absurder joke about it

So for all that time, there was no name for that color? Just some vague combination of other colors? When people drew a rainbow, they would say "red, blue, yellow, green, violet, indigo, and then that other color, whatchamacallit, reddish-golden-yellow thing"? That sounds like bullshit.

Think about it - there aren't a lot of naturally occurring orange things in the British isles. They wouldn't have really needed to differentiate it from shades of red or yellow until one day a trader brings a vibrant, distinctly orange fruit to the market. We're talking about the middle ages here.

2 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

In addition to the other comments: there are millions of colors without a separate name. Or when was the last time you saw a rainbow with hard lines between the colors? Color is a spectrum, and bits of it only get a name where it's culturally relevant enough to get one. And even then it's ill defined.

2 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Yea. Lots of languages still lack certain color words and there is an order color words get added to a language and orange is pretty low down.

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Old West Norse had terms for blue, yellow, gray, green, white, red, and black, and the term used for yellow may also have included pink, orange and brown. Gold was described as "red", "golden red", because it was a warm hue. They did have a specific term for "brown", but it only referred to horses of that color (so using it for anything else would basically be calling that "horse colored"), and they seem to have had a specific word for blonde hair color. Plus some other stuff like that.
