      Passion fruits are colloquially referred to as “may pops” in places that they grow wild like the US southeast.

      Maybe you shouldn’t be looking for a fight everywhere.

        In all fairness, I am not looking for a fight everywhere, I do however have tendency of responding in kind, and in this case, I may have been wrong to do so. Live and learn. But that is the danger of using South American slang in the internet, where not everyone is familiar with South American pet names for fruits that may or may taste extremely bitter for different people.
