Naming is always interesting...

Child to father,

"What does 'organic' mean, Dad?"

Father to child,

"It means they spray at night."

The one that gets me is "Tuna Fish." This to me indicates that you have FUBAR'd one of nature's greatest foods into something that has to be doubly labeled to identify its muddled origins.

99% of all supermarket "Jewish-style" rye bread resemble nothing seen in a kosher bakery. What makes it "Jewish?" Caraway seeds? Oh, and "Cajun-style" roast beef. I can't, having spent plenty of tres bon temps on the the bayou, recall having been served roast beef. Or much beef at all, for that matter. Of course, a pet peeve of mine is the interchangeable usage of Cajun and Creole.
