I recently requested a name change on my account. I used to be "indica" but felt I grew out of that name a long time ago.

Here's a fun fact: Ketchup used to not have tomatoes at all and was actually a fish sauce. The word originally comes from the Malay word kecap which then becomes the Chinese (Hokkien) word k-chiap: "brine of pickled fish or shellfish"

Interestingly, tea and chai all came from Chinese pronunciations. Tea comes from the Malay word teh, which itself came from the southern Chinese word te. Chai comes from the northern Chinese word cha, and changed through trading with Central and South Asia.
