As in, sweden or swedish people?

No, the vegetable.

Rutabaga is the common American and Canadian term for the plant. It comes from the Swedish word Rotabagge, meaning simply "root bag". "Swede" is the preferred term used in most of the English-speaking world, including England, Wales, Australia, India, New Zealand and many other parts of the world that use British English as a standard. In the U.S., the plant is also known as "Swedish turnip" or "yellow turnip", while in Ireland, it is referred to as "turnip". The name turnip is also used in parts of Northern and Midland England, Cornwall, Ontario and Atlantic Canada. In Scots, it is either "tumshie" or "neep",[2] and Brassica rapa var. rapa, termed a "turnip" in southern English usage, instead is called a "white turnip" as in Ireland. Scots will refer to both types by the generic term "neep" (from Old English næp, Latin napus).[2][3] Some will also refer to both types as just "turnip" (the word is also derived from næp).[3] In North-East England, turnips and swedes are colloquially called "snaggers" (archaic). They should not be confused with the large beet known as a mangelwurzel.

We're going to the two story mall tomorrow to go school clothes shopping and I'm going to see The Help with my mom, and maybe my aunt. omg. Emma Stone is playing the main white lady, Miss Skeeter. I CAN'T WAIT. I love Emma Stone, and she looked so pretty at the TCA's
 
Why do I love The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh so much?
