the dumbest color name ever
Jan. 25th, 2007 10:15 amBritt: Nice pink sweater.
Ilana: Thank you! Actually, I'd describe it as 'coral' rather than 'pink'. Not that coral really is this color. Hmm, what color is coral? Yellowish, really. Don't you think?
Britt: Some of it is yellow. Some of it is purple. Some of it is pink.
Ilana: When it's dead, it's white.
Britt: You know, naming a color 'coral' is kind of like naming a color 'flower'.
At this point I snorted coffee and collapsed in giggles.
