Okay, I get it. You think you’re better than everyone else. Only a pleb would dare use such lowbrow words as “eggplant”. You like to pretend you can speak French because you took a class in college and now you have some tapes.
But you’re in America now. And in America, people who try to act all high class and snooty get the guillotine. I mean the…er…Chop-o-Matic 5000. And don’t give me that crap about how “eggplant” only refers to the “white variety of aubergine”. Until I actually see one on sale at the Wal-Mart Supercenter for less that $0.99/lb, it will remain a theoretical vegetable. If I’m going to eat my vegetables, I want them cheap, and in English. Also, who’s ever heard of an “aubergine parmesan”? Not me.
Can’t bring yourself to call it an eggplant? Then get the hell out of my country, you communist. Move up to Canada. They love pretentious assholes like you who think the British Royal Family is still paying attention. Go have your aubergines and your colOURs and affordable health care and leave me alone. I hate you.

Everyone in the UK has been brought up either using the word aubergine or, more likely, never hearing the word aubergine or eggplant because it’s not bland enough for the Brittish diet.
