OK, I need to retract an earlier statement on another topic. This is an instance where I absolutely would be thinking primarily about a "marketing department perspective." Clearly Plimoth Plantation Yarn doesn't have one. I know lots of folks who knit. This name would not be a selling point.

Another of those, "While much is too strange to be believed, nothing is to strange to have happened," things.

That name is apparently historically accurate and, of course, properly describes the color in a real world manner that someone in the Middle Ages would understand. At the bottom of the 1500-1580 (top) section at link below.

Which I'm not attempting to argue. But I will argue that if you want to maximize sales to contemporary shoppers you ditch that name for another one that does not allude directly to feces. That's all I was trying to say then, or now.

Ah, but the spelling in your reference is Gooseturd which is a lot better than Goose Turd.

Hence the reason the feature that searches a message for the word "attach" and warns you that you haven't got an attachment came into being.

Quite amusing, as it beautifully illustrates why.

that someone in the Middle Ages would understand.

The literal translation in French is still commonly used over here to describe this dark greenish color.
It's called "caca d'oie"

caca

Means the same thing in colloquial Portuguese and Spanish All being romance languages it's no surprise.

It is a real thing but sold out.
