i have no idea eek thats really good question

Well, for a start, I've forgotten what an eggplant actually refers to anyhoo.
And secondly it probably has something to do with the shape.
*Remembers* isn't it a marrow of sorts?  

[Invictus_88]

It's the American word for aubergine, they obviously call it an eggplant because of it's shape, colour and flavour; none of which bear the slightest resemblance to an egg.

Well, there you are. Proof that Americans have no originality; they stole the names of two things and combined them.
Thanks also for the lovely picture of these so-called 'Eggplants' -
stressed I shudder at that word. What's wrong with aubergine?

To make it fit with there way of spelling it would have to be spelt oberjeen.

To make it fit with there way of spelling it would have to be spelt oberjeen.

I suppose that they would just use some ridiculous abbreviation for it like "jeeny".
Just like how they took the humble sausage and called it a "wiener".

How much longer will they steal our language, corrupt it and then say they speak english? stressed
