Smart arse huh lol

The name okra is most often used in the United States, with a variant pronunciation, English Caribbean okro, used primarily around the Philippines. The word okra is of West African origin and is cognate with ọkwurụ in the Igbo language spoken in Nigeria.[2] Okra is often known as "lady's fingers" outside of the United States.[3] In various Bantu languages, okra is called kingombo or a variant thereof, and this is the origin of its name in Portuguese (quiabo), Spanish (quimbombó or guigambó), Dutch and French, and also possibly of the name "gumbo", used in parts of the United States and English-speaking Caribbean for either the vegetable or a stew based on it.[4] In India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and often in the United Kingdom, it is called by its Hindi/Urdu name, bhindi or bhendi or bendai.

A bindi (Hindi: बिंदी, from Sanskrit bindu, meaning "a drop, small particle, dot") is a forehead decoration worn in South Asia (particularly India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Mauritius).[1] and Southeast Asia. Traditionally it is a dot of red color applied in the center of the forehead close to the eyebrows, but it can also consist of a sign or piece of jewelry worn at this location.
