Allow me to further mess things up by pointing out that, according to The Ultimate Authority on Everything*, the following expressions have meanings equivalent to "apples and oranges":

Serbian: Поредити бабе и жабе (comparing grandmothers and toads)
Romanian: baba şi mitraliera (the grandmother and the machine gun); vaca şi izmenele (the cow and the longjohns); țiganul şi carioca (the gypsy and the marker)
Danish: Hvad er højest, Rundetårn eller et tordenskrald? (What is highest, the Round Tower or a thunderclap?)
Russian: сравнивать тёплое с мягким (to compare warm and soft).

So, which is it? Are apples an oranges supposed to be "similar yet different", or "have fuck-all to do with each other"? If the first, then how are these expressions equivalent? If the second, why choose apples and oranges, with all the similarities they actually do have?

I hereby propose that people who mean to say "Completely different" use something like "Constitutional monarchies and toothpicks", and reserve "apples and oranges" for the purpose of speaking of things that have similarities but should be considered separately.


*Iä! Iä! Wikipedia Fhtagn!
I personally like using "apples and [something completely odd and random, that is not a fruit, and is rarely food at all]".

I should've never posted that Goddamn phrase is that what you are telling me?

To break up the apples and oranges debate:

Can we play SJW Survivor? We can drop these special snowflakes in my primarily white, straight, cis, christian hometown and the winner is the last one to be arrested/ have a nervous breakdown.

Are you kidding? It'd be a bloodbath.

Well, then we learn if there's such a thing as a funny bloodbath. The movie Dogma claims there is, but I've never seen it in practice. /heavily joking

Nah, a funny bloodbath is if it happens at Fox News.

Fun fact: the Latin root of the word virgin is virgo. You might be shocked to learn that, in Latin, virgo means... drumroll please...

...virgin.

Meanwhile, the word virile has a different Latin root, virīlitās, which translates to 'manliness' or 'virility'.

I know, it blew my mind too.

I've heard that "virgin" was often used to mean "young woman," but I think that had more to do with the assumption that all "proper" young women were, well, virgins.

Isn't that from translating the Bible for Mary to not be a virgin as we know it now?

The ultimate root of virile is vir, man.  It literally means "manly."

Let us also not forget that, in Latin, vagina means "sheath."

That's it. That's the thread.

Wait, what? Context, please? How could something like that be triggering?

There is no context. There can't be context. That's the whole point.
