Gooseberry
Was talking to someone yesterday and the word 'Gooseberry' came out. Decided to do some research and here's the Cambridge Dictionary definition:- a small yellowish-green fruit covered with short hairs, which grows on a bush and has a sour taste:
- to be an unwanted third person who is present when two other people, especially two lovers, want to be alone
That was really interesting as I never knew about the 2nd definition. My first encounter with the gooseberry was a pleasant one - it was place as a decoration on my birthday cake - and it really caught my eye - a rare fruit that gave the cake an exquisite look. Here:
I was so intrigued by it that I took it with the cake- it had a nice refreshing taste to it. It is a good source of vitamin C and fibre too, and certainly - when used in the right place - brought 'icing' on the cake.
My point? :-) Well - it's interesting why would the second definition come about at all... but I'm sure it has its history. Important thing? We are all created special in God's sight - no one is an UNWANTED. :-)
Ps 139:14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
