banana
  12

1º_ It is the fruit (or pod) of various plants Musa paradisiaca L . , which among other names is also known as plantain, although where both names are used is because a difference is made between the one that is sweet and eaten raw and the one that is cooked before eating it. The plant has been modified so that its fruit is seedless, making it impossible for it to reproduce on its own. The name seems to be of Arabic origin, although it is more likely that it came to Spanish through Portuguese; and it would be a simplification of 1576; 1606; 1575; 1606; 1577; 1575; 1604; 1605; 1608; 1586; ( banaanat al mawz "banana finger" ) , since the pineapple or bunch of bananas is usually called "hand", and the elongated pods would be the "fingers". 2º_ This word has taken on various meanings depending on the context, in lunfardo it was an adjective for someone who was winning, worldly, always fashionable, but taking into account the majorities who tried to be a banana and only managed to be ridiculous the term practically remained for them, and today it is more of an insult. The origin could be as a milder version of poronga ("the most respected"), as the banana is also compared to the penis. BANANA is an acronym for Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything, which is used to identify groups that oppose any kind of change or development that modifies the existing environment to which they are accustomed.
