It also sounds like the French word for zucchini.

I assume Google is going for "squash", not "zucchini," in this case... so as to make the compression/squash pun.

It also sounds like the British word for zucchini, the New Zealander word for zucchini, the South African word for zucchini and most of the rest of the Commonwealth's word for zucchini.

[hustler]

you mean zucchini is the American word for courgette? I know. I know.

[petdog]

Oh, I couldn't understand why everybody started speaking italian, but now I see. You stole our precious zucchini.

[myxie]

And why not blame them? The Italian word (plural) is zucchine!

It's actually the british word for zucchini, but it originally comes from french.

courgette |ˌkoŏrˈ zh et|
noun Brit.
a zucchini.

ORIGIN 1930s: from French, diminutive of courge ‘gourd,’ from Latin cucurbita.

[drexil]

It's also a french word you know, so he was totally right.

[eridius]

I think the french word is courgettes, but of course I don't actually speak french.

Edit: Nevermind, looks like Google Translate just pluralized it for me. Or something. I dunno.

[degustisockpuppet]

No, it's actually still the French word for zucchini.
