@Ticomaya,
Ticomaya,

Of course I did mean you are right and thank you for your observation.

Zoosemy- naming people after animals
Foodsemy- naming people after food

It should not be confused, though certain animals which constitute food source in certain cultures, they are still animals. When we refer to someone 'chicken' we do not compare the person to the chicken on out plate but we mean someone who is young as a young chicken, especially female as in the expression 'spring chicken'.

gooseberry-chaperone
potato-a complete idiot
couch potato -spends lots of time in front of tv
mouse potato- internet addicted
the cream-elite

These are quite different, as they name nationalities, but still interesting:

bean-eater- Mexican
kielbasa brain - Polish
oreo- American Africans
goulash-Hungarian
taco-attractive Mexican girl
kebab-Turk
leek-cant name for a Welshman

Oreo is not slang for African American. It is an unflattering characterization of other African American when they claim the person is black on the outside, but acts white (on the inside)

@Berty McJock,
I've got the Christmas issue of Viz in the bathroom, and I've been reading P. C. McNeice and his breathalyzer bumhole, lots of food related terms for the ringpiece there.

Dirty Fudge Gun, Choccie Chunnel, Cake Decorator, Truffle Pipe, Turkish Takeaway Window. And Scruffy Mudskipper, but it's not food related.
