ITT: Etymology.

You ask the etymology of a word or phrase, 4channers attempt to find the answer.

I'll start the ball rolling.

Avocado: Comes from the Aztec name for the fruit, " ahucatl", meaning "testicle" in their language. Apparently they had leathery purple-green balls.

Anyone know where "tongue in cheek" comes from? Why'd you stick your tongue in your cheek to imply something?

As a hipsterologist I can tell you that a true hipster would never be caught dead at Starbucks. He would instead go to the local independent coffee shop with ironic run-down decor.

If fabricate even means that. But you seem to agree that it does, so I'll go along with you.
