43 and I've never heard of rutabaga.

Then I found out we just call them swedes, turnips, or neeps.

Edit: not turnips, just the other two.

On a side note, how do I strikethrough text?

A turnip and a rutabaga are different.

For strikethrough, just surround text with ~~

~~text~~

Becomes

40yo, here; I've heard of them via Loony Tunes, but I have never even seen a picture of one let alone seen them for sale (no turnips either). Closest thing I've seen are radishes.

Turnips are objectively more terrifying than pumpkins when carved for Halloween. That's their main fame.

You're 43 and never played super Mario 2?
