@jrosen707 Ha, yeah. Guessing it might stem (bad pun) from the word root that links "pink" to the dianthus variety of flowers called pinks. There's apparently more universality in that lineage than in blue (some languages don't have a single word for "blue," for example). I don't know what's going on with brappin' yellow.
Also, Gromple & Brap sounds like maybe a Ken Nordine album, or a delicacy on a British menu.
