    Why aren't apples called reds and bananas called yellows?

    So you think the orange was named for its color?  Not so.  The fruit orange came before the color orange.   I can't really vouch for my source:  https://colors-newyork.com/why-is-an-orange-called-an-orange-but-a-lemon-is-not-called-a-yellow/#Why_is_an_orange_called_an_orange_but_a_lemon_is_not_called_a_yellow

    The word 'chestnut' does not have any kind of erotic connotation to it. Very blah and a turn-off.

    Nipples... Nipples... Nipples... Now that is arousing!

    The reason is breast would then be called a nut bag.  That name is already taken.

      But the breasts are not bags that hold nuts, their two little nuts are on the outside of them! Hold on, it’s better if I drop by your place and we discuss this in person. Take a nice warm bubble bath and I’ll be there in about an hour . . .

    Because you wouldn't want to roast them on an open fire.

    Well, most people wouldn't want to.
