Did anyone know that the Indian word that was for Tobacco in their language meant "Bewitching Vegetable".


I tell you it is their last laugh; thier final revenge to all the whites so they can choke on their own lies.

Tobacco the Revenge of the Nations, the Ultimate curse.


Enjoy those cigs whitey.

Edit: Which Indian tribe anyway? "The Indian word for.." is like saying "The African word for..."

It was probably a fair trade for the fire water we gave them.

OK.. seems I'm mis-lead...


Bewitching Vegetable is waht they Called it.

.. but the Word for it was different...

My Point still stands though that it is the greatest Revenge they could have exacted on us.



I found various origins for the word Tobacco... from the Pipe itself, to a bundle of the leaves..

tobacco - 1588, from Sp. tabaco, in part from an Arawakan (probably Taino) language of the Caribbean, said to mean "a roll of tobacco leaves" (according to Las Casas, 1552) or "a kind of pipe for smoking tobacco" (according to Oviedo), but Sp. tabaco (also It. tabacco) was a name of medicinal herbs from c.1410, from Arabic tabbaq, attested since 9c. as the name of various herbs. So the word may be a European one transferred to an American plant. Cultivation in France began 1556 with an importation of seed by Andre Thevet; introduced in Spain 1558 by Francisco Fernandes. Tobacconist "dealer in tobacco" first attested 1657; earlier meaning was "person addicted to tobacco" (1549).


Upon further research BTW.. the actual word for it is uyë'kwa'ôwe


This was funny too: http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/kjcounte.htm

...but like i said.. all the real tobacco sites are blocked here.
