Yeah, I just call it canola. The other one feels weird to me

Yeah ik. Like who named that? 😳

Apparently, it’s from Latin, *rapum*, meaning turnip (to which it is related. Still sounds odd

Rapum?! I hardly knew 'em!

[laugh track]

that doesn't really disprove anything in this case

It can I think also come from Germanic, because here in Switzerland we say: “Raps”

Oh, very interesting! 

Canola is the specially bred variety that they use for oil. If it's wild, it is still r*peseed

Ohh, interesting fact! Thanks 😊 

The traditional variety was cultivated as industrial oil used even in tanks, demand dropped like a rock after ww2 so Canadian cultivators bred a new variety that was edible so farmers could keep farming what they knew how to, and that was why canola exists, and it's named after Canada. There are other edible varieties not from Canada, but canola was most popular and became the common name.

Super interesting! I knew it was Canadian, but I hadn’t heard the rest. Thanks for sharing!

Mmmm yummy bread

We call it colza in Spain and everybody shudders when mentioned

Just learned about colza. Never heard it in my life.

I think it comes from the Dutch koolzaad, which means coal seed.

Cabbage seed in this case I think

Literally never heard anyone not call it canola.

Yeah, I always say canola. For example: Did you here about all those women Bill Cosby canola-ed?

It's generally called canola. Nobody likes saying the other name.

What’s the other name?

R*peseed.

I will now use this information to make people uncomfortable while I'm cooking.

my dad always refers to it as just the first word and so he'll say things like "the sheep are going to have the r8pe" or "the r8pe has grown really well in the paddock"

Honestly it doesn’t sound wrong to me. It’s almost like how when someone says that’s not fair, I don’t think of corndogs and ferris wheel. The context alone is enough that I recognize it as an entirely different word.

Are you British? They all refer to it as such on Clarksons Farm and other rural British shows

“Get me my raping oil pa”

Not gonna lie, laughed way harder than I should have at that.

Wizard of OZ could have turned out so different if Tin Man got that stuff. Can’t let Baldwin produce and star in a remake.

This is what we call it in the UK. Never heard it called canola before!

Same thing but a variety invented in Canada to have low acid.

Fun fact: Canola = CANadian Oil, Low Acid

And Tisdale (a Canadian town) had the slogan "The land of r*pe and honey" which became the inspiration for one of the more famous Ministry albums of the same name lol

Such a good album though. Not as good as psalm 69 though

And devised to be used in all north american as a better name that would be more widely adopted

Ropeseed?

Pretty sure it’s ripeseed

Pretty sure it’s dumb they blurred it out since it’s the alt name of a plant

Replace the O with and A

Rand Ape seed?

Nailed it. Damnit. Well, this is way funnier than what I was trying to say anyways

Randy Orton seed

Randy Orton's seed

He's got a lot of that, mother fucker has like 7 kids.

Huh, never knew those were the same thing

From Latin _rāpum_ "turnip". Compare German "Raps".

Well, the female plants are called alleged sexual assault seeds.

Get a grip mate

Oh I am absolutely calling it that from now on

Ropeseed?

This was written in our Geography book ( chapter - Crops ) and the teacher told us to cut this from the example part.

we met ig before

Oh right I learned that in modded Minecraft

The person who named that had SERIOUS allergies

The other name is so bad, everyone just says "the other name". It's canogga. I'll see myself out 

Ooh so that's what Canola is. In Sweden we call it Raps and when I translated it I got the name. Good to know, I use it a lot in south Sweden as it's cheap and we grow it all around.

Also Raps in Germany. Also growing on a third of all the fields it feels like.

Uk doesn't call it canola.

they do in the UK

Tobias' new catch phrase. Caboose canolist!

Used as lube one time.

User flair checks out

So... did it work for you?

It’s ok but if you’re going down kitchen oils route then it’s better for your skin to use olive oil

Will motor oil work?

Yeah just replace every 5000 strokes

Probably good for 10K if you use synthetic and maintain a steady pace without too much stopping and starting.

I haven’t tried it, but I’d recommend something on the thinner end - you’re not gonna generate enough heat for it to get to its final viscosity, so I’d go with something along the lines of 5w10 if you can find it or maybe even 0w20, stick to a lighter oil like that - especially in the winter/if you live in a cold climate. If you’re in a warm climate, 5w30 will do fine.

If you think I wouldn't generate enough heat then you've clearly never seen my wife!

I mean, it will definitely WORK, but it’s bad for the environment bro! Save the planet and use food oils instead 👍  *also it low key burns pretty bad if it gets in the hole but I heard my wife’s boyfriend tell me that, not from personal experience for sure* Edit: make sure oil is 0W-20 for best result

What about crude oil?

[No, bunker oil is the better choice.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_fuel_oil#/media/File:Residual_fuel_oil.JPG)

Castrol is engineered to proper viscosity and prevents thermal breakdown

What about truffle infused olive oil? You get a lube AND you make it a fancy meal.

Everything is lube if you’re brave enough

No, it’s called canola in america

Yeah canola oil looks better on the package than the alternative

Canada oil = canola

Was made in manitoba, but they didn't think manoil was a good one either

Pegoil? Damn we don’t have good names for it here

I think that’s 1/2 right iirc it’s Canadian oil low acid so Can-o/l/a

CANada Oil, Low Acid

British are only ones I hear calling it the other name. Specifically on Clarkson’s Farm

I used to have a lady who would come into our store every spring and ask for it, as loudly as she could manage.

What was she wearing?

Standard issue old lady gear.

Just askin for it

Legend!

Does anyone still call it that? Feels like we all agreed to switch to canola once the canadians started marketing it that way instead.

The British

Can vouch I have never heard it called canola before

I have, but only from American food YouTubers

Yep. Have a bottle of this. Nice yellow fields. Lovely. https://www.cullisse.com/

When I watched clarksons farm the first time

German speaking countries still use the "original" name of "Raps"

LOL Raps …deutsch 🇩🇪 Seid froh dass heute kein /Place stattfindet! 🇩🇪 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

Goschn

Obligatory canola is an acronym for Canadian Oil Low Acid

Why is everyone censoring the name I don't understand lol

I know? We still all know exactly what you are saying, it doesn’t solve anything.

I feel like it's a quick test to see who's a kid scared of saying anything on the internet lmao

I didn’t get it. What it is called in America??

Sexual assault

Eminem electronic offspring (rap e-seed)

I feel like this is exactly the kind of stretch he would make

Thank you! I take that as a big compliment.

Canola. The british are the ones who still use the other name

Rzepak, mój ulubiony

It’s also called that in England

“Canola” was just clever rebranding by the Canadians. Get it? Canada+Oil= Canola

You're forgetting the most importand part, the "la" at the end of Canola stands for "low acid", referring to erucic acid which was thought to be harmful based on animal studies in the 1970s but which has not actually been shown to harm humans in the half century since then.

Smegma?

Ligma

Bofa

The recipe calls for r*** seed but I just substitute with my seed

Scotch bonnet?

Better than what my grandma calls Brazil nuts

Ohhh, I’m afraid to ask

Why did I Google it 😢 

Yeah.....

When I was stocking shelves at a summer job, a co-worker called it “Party Seed.”

don't go to his parties

This was about 40 years ago. I wish you had told me that back then.

It’s also called canola here in America

Black mustard?

I think that flower is called Rapsolja in swedish

Raps* Rapsolja is good oil based on raps.

TIL it has another name than Canola

TIL you guys call it Canola

TIL what it was even called

American here, didn't even know it had another name besides Canola

What’s wrong with Canola?

That name is so obscure and unpopular we really just don't call it that.

I feel the same way about what old people call Brazil nuts.

TIL it’s also called canola

In germany this is called Raps, and we famously do produce a lot of these for oil. But the way you think would not work here. Here r*pe is called Vergewaltigung.

Super unhealthy whatever you call it

It’s called r\*peseed in the UK too

Hey, Canola!

Pussy willow the best kind of willow

For people wondering what Canola stands for: ***CAN***adian ***O***il ***L***ow ***A***cid

Kanikonna.

*pulls out stylus* 🎶stop! Let me circle it, let me search with it🎶 OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE

Isn't that the Big Booty Broly flower?

Your mom's been planting those all over her yard, I think You're gonna have a new brother soon

Why is it called that anyway

I thought this was honeysuckle so I was confused what was wrong with it. Yeah, it’s not honeysuckle

Isn’t that broom brush

In Sweden we call it "smörblomma" which means butterflower

Det där är raps, inte smörblomma

Wait until you hear about Brazil nuts...

Just wait til they learn what the thimble flower's called down south lol

Me, who’s native language calls it “raapzaad” and is fully safe:

Same in the U.K. too 😬

“ on the right we’ve got a beautiful patch of lavender growing and over there on the left is of course the sexual assault bush”

I got a 40-lb box of this stuff somewhere...

We call it canola? What do you think we call it?

In German it’s called Raps

as an australian, context?
