Who thought up that word for an insect? Was it because the person who discovered it had a last name of "Roach?" And where did the c0ck part come from? I know it's not an all male species? :confused: Is it?

Other words that make me ponder;

Angel Food Cake

and

Devil's Food Cake

Did an angel appear to a chef at some point, and say "this is the food we sit around in heaven and eat all day, the mortals might like it...give it a try?"

Did satan come up from the bowels of hell to say "we devils prefer dark chocolate cake with dark chocolate icing and it shall be named after us........or else?" :eek:

Just food for thought on a dreary cloudy day here in Virginia........:p
 
Hmmmm....

Cockroaches are ugly, and the name is kinda ugly, so I guess it fits no matter what the origin.;)

Angel food cake because it's light and fluffy like clouds in Heaven.:D

Devil's food cake because it's SO delicious, it's sinful just like the Devil himself. To be honest, I'd take Devil's food over Angel food anyday.;)
 
I don't know the answers to these deep, insightful questions. But I love the picture in your signature, Blondie :). Is that a picture of yours?
 
Not me, angel food cake all the way! ::yes::

I think whoever named the cookie "Snickerdoodle" had a little too much to drink the day they were making them! Can't you just see a drunk saying to someone "and you can wipe that snickerdoodle off your face, missy!" ;)

No, just something I found on the internet. The girl is wearing something I would've worn 20 years ago. :)
 
Blondie, you're thinking a little to much. These are questions that really don't deserve that much thought! LOL!
