I grew up calling scallions 'spring onions' and have avoided that mix up.

"Did you get the onion from the supermarket?"
"Yeah, here it is"
"It's a bit on the small side isn't it?"
"Well, that's shallot"

Scallions may be an Irish thing?

I was an adult when I found out that scallops aren't always sliced potato

My mum called them sybees (no idea if that's how you spell it)

Same here. Spelled 'syboe'. From the French, 'ciboule'. The Auld Alliance at work again?

Ditto.

Yes, like how we have ashet pies, from 'assiete'

― Non, je ned raggette rien (onimo), Sunday, 22 March 2020 11:36 (six years ago)

Oh, is that why it’s called an ashet? I never realised!

Murray Head

Although I looked them up and it turns out they're brothers. Still, I always just considered them as one composite being.

The Four Tops
The Spinners

Thank goodness there wasn't another r&b combo from that era called The Dervishes or something.

― Unparalleled Elegance (Old Lunch), Thursday, 2 April 2020 14:19 (six years ago)

I get all of those old vocal groups mixed up - I usually recognise Platters songs as my dad played them a lot.

The Spinners
The Weavers

who are in an entirely different genre but I still can never remember which is which

― threnody for the victims of alan shearer (Matt #2), Saturday, 4 April 2020 21:52 (six years ago)

... aren't they in the same genre? There's another one:

The Peddlers

... a mystery of a band, nobody has ever listened to them since ca. 1972.

― Bridge Over Thorley Waters (Tom D.), Saturday, 4 April 2020 21:55 (six years ago)

i used to have that with

the seekers
the searchers

and still have that problem sometimes with

the new lost city ramblers
the new christy minstrels

― budo jeru, Saturday, 4 April 2020 21:56 (six years ago)

... aren't they in the same genre?

I meant The Detroit Spinners, who were called that in the UK to differentiate them from the folky Spinners. At least I think I meant them. I'm just confusing myself further with all this, I give up.
