The greatest question known to man...

[Lanzer]

Why the **** do they call it a Hamburger if it's made of Beef? Seriously, I went to Wendy's and asked the waiter dude, "Why do they call it hamburgers, it's made of cow right? Ham is pig."

He nods and says, "No idea."

So, what're you theories ONRPG? Beefburger/Hamburger?

[shadowsworn]

Parody topics are really not funny, you know.

[MarchoftheBlackLions]

Hamburger.

Hamburg steak.

Hamburg.

Germany.

Etc.

I guess.

[CabooseNation]

You could say the same with hot dog...

Actually, they don't call it a hamburger anymore.

It's usually a burger, or it has a prefix to it. Chickenburger, Cheeseburger, etc.

Or, it's called something totally different. At Wendy's they don't have any "Hamburgers", they have Whoppers and The Baconator.

Your story is a lie. You are a lie. This thread is a lie.

Since when?!?!?! I wanna get a whopper from Wendy's, its closer than BK!
Its true though, no one calls it a hamburger. If you want a hamburger with nothing, its a burger. Nothing more.

[TheJIVE]

Oh god, you're right. A whopper is from BK.

I will now end my life.

You seem like one annoying customer. They probably took a shit in your drink and pissed in your burger.

It shows how messed up the english language is...

"I before E except after C" what about beige? neighbour? etc.
'go' doesnt rhyme with 'do' 'gave' doesnt rhyme with 'have'
comb? why is there a silent B?
knife,knit? why do they need the 'K'?
hotdogs? are there really dogs in there?

etc. but it happens to be the most popular language.

[Cloud13]

According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the term "hamburger" comes from Hamburg steak, which was first recorded in English in 1884 but was probably used much earlier.

So apparently Lions was the right one.

It's the easiest language.

I'm pretty sure English is one of the hardest languages to learn when it isn't native.

The woodcutter worked in the woods cutting boughs, and it made his hands very rough. When his day was through, he developed a bad cough.

Lawl.

[Greed]

English is hard? I think I learned it in like a month when I was 5.

I am not a native english speaker. But compared to Chinese, I'd say english is easier. Or even some of the Indian languages.

[Yugtaf]

I agree with Greed. As far as I know English is the easiest to learn and can't be compared to the complexity of asian languages. They use entire symbols for parts of words, words or phrases. We make up our words using a select few symbols.
