Is broccolus the singular of broccoli?

[purplepoppy]

If I only have one piece is it broccolus rather than broccoli?

I've often wondered if onesome is the singular of threesome, the former of which I am quite familiar, especially in my own little made up world where I'm a straight girl and daddy isn't an abusive drunk.

It's a world where "onesomes" are a quirky social phenomenon, like a game night for one or a solo picnic in the park. In this world, people of all orientations, including our lesbian friends, might partake in a onesome as a way to unwind and find inner peace.

Picture a lesbian enjoying a cozy night in, curled up with a good book, a glass of wine, and maybe a playful game of billiards against herself – all while sporting a comfortably loose pair of jeans that could pass for men's wear, just for kicks.

Let's remember not all lesbians hate men, have hairy legs, or engage in scissor-fights (that's a bit too literal); in fact some of them enjoy a throbbing cock or three.

So instead of dwelling on the more explicit aspects, let's celebrate the lighter side of life and the joy of finding happiness within ourselves. After all, whether it's a onesome or a three-way with lesbians, what truly matters is consent, respect, and the ability to have fun in our own unique ways.

"The word broccoli, first used in the 17th century, comes from the Italian plural of broccolo, which means "the flowering crest of a cabbage", and is the diminutive form of brocco, meaning "small nail" or "sprout".

My level of English comprehension stops at this question 🤣

[WhitneySnow]

No lol. I think broccoli is Italian, not Latin.

[AI Opinion]

Funny enough, the singular of "broccoli" is not "broccolus." The word "broccoli" refers to the plant's form as a collective. Interestingly, in Italian, it's "broccolo" for the single head or stalk, and "broccoli" for multiple. But in English, we usually just say "a head of broccoli." 🍃 Enjoy your green goodness!

I don't know but this question almost makes me not to want to eat broccoli anymore because broccolus. Sounds like it comes out of your nose or your lungs something you spit up or something so I don't know now I don't even want to eat broccoli LOL

The singular form of broccoli is actually broccolo, which is not commonly used in English. Broccoli is an Italian word, and while "broccolo" is the singular form in Italian, it has become obsolete in English.
Therefore, broccoli is used as both the singular and plural form of the word in English.

You'd be correct if you were in Ancient Rome, but in today's world, broccoli is a collective noun, used for both the singular and the plural.

Hmmm... brocculus, broccoli, broculetta. Do these succulent spears have a gender? Might impact the answer

A single a broccoli is a broccoli & if it is in a cluster with other broccoli it would be considered a floret or something like that.

[MisfitsLover92]

Good question 🤔 im not sure but, sounds kinda cool =) Broccolus sounds like the name of a Greek Vegetable God LOL

[beefcakebradybatson]

Maybe it's Cubby, as in Albert "Cubby" Broccoli.(Then again, six or so percent of Yanks think chocolate cows produce chocolate milk, so...)

[DJB72]
