For me, it’s “queso”. 🧀
Cheese
Ost!
Kaas.
Fun fact: New York was founded by the Dutch. A curse word for a Dutch guy was “Jan Kaas”, which changed over the years to “Yankees”.
Fun fact: folk etymologies are always lies.
I’ve also heard that ‘gringo’ derives from people telling green-clad soldiers to go away (green, go)
I’ve heard that ‘fuck’ is an acronym for ‘fornication under consent of the king’
All nonsense of course.
Not all etymologies are lies, words do have origins.
Just because you heard some stories which were false doesn’t mean all stories are false.
On this wiki page it is explained that linguistics do believe the word Yankee comes from Jan Kees or Jan Kaas. It explains it can also come from the name Janneke, which is a new to me.
芝士 (it’s pronounced similar to cheese in English)
In Mandarin: zhishi
In Cantonese: zisiSir
I shall start calling mine Sir Cheese.
Gazta (in Basque)
Syr
brânză
Keju
queijo
Das ist Käse.
Btw: This saying is used in case something is stupid :)
Ostur

We call it the same thing as butter. Shit gets confusing sometimes
