Why are they called Hamburgers & not 'Ground Beef'-burgers ... America the #Capitalistical | @miltimore79
That question came to mind when I was answering the question of one of my Twitter-contacts.
The answer: 'Hamburger' is not a compound meaning "burger of ham"; it's a name for "the kind of sandwich served in #Hamburg." The words people use for such sandwiches these days (Pork-burger, Veggie-burger, etc.) are 'mutant-abominations 😜'---though they did try to call it the beefburger.
After a mention of the free mining-software (giving us free Bitcoin in exchange for energy we're wasting anyway), I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The name “Hamburg” is built on ancient words that mean "Fort or |Castle of #Hamma (which--if it isn't 'the name of the castle's resident'--comes from either the Arabic for 'Hot Water' or the German for |Ham, Back of the Knee (|Angle of a River Bend), |Enclosed Area of |Pasture)."
Why does McDonald's serve hamburgers? (I'm thinking "the military industry"; but somehow the question comes up 'why are they called ham-burgers & not 'ground beef'-burgers) pic.twitter.com/6P6XFLkO7h
