Now That’s a Pineapple

The word for pineapple in Portuguese is abacaxi, although aside from meaning a wonderfully delicious juicy tropical fruit, the word abacaxi can also be used to mean a Really Big Mess, derived from the fact that peeling a pineapple requires much talent and can create said Really Big Mess. Of course, the flipside of attempting to peel a pineapple is often the resulting delicious fruit in which you get to indulge. Yum!
