In some parts of
Latin America, including
Cuba,
papaya has the slang meaning of "
pussy". In these areas of the world, the fruit is politely called
frutabomba, or "
cardboard fruit", to avoid this accurate but vulgar
connotation.
Some hold that the fruit of knowledge in the Garden of Eden was a fig. Some say it was an apple. Having tasted all four (ahem), I insist that the delicious forbidden fruit Eve offered Adam was papaya.
