Did you know we've all likely dropped an 'N' word in our life time (Especially UK folk), and no this isn't like a racist remark or anything, it's all unintentional. This is because we have a flawed language. And since noticing this, I haven't been able to unnotice it. Maybe bring this up with a Dictionary/noun authority.

I'll give you some hints as to what this word is.

Hint: It's a condiment.

Hint: It's often made with acids (or Fruit/Barley)

If you guessed, ketchup, then no. You're wrong. It's actually Vinegar.

But I absolutely hate this word because when you say it, it sounds like something else... and sure, it could be just the pronunciation being a problem, starting with "ni" instead of "nee"

My only two solutions to this is either to call it acid condiment.
"Honey, can you pass me the acid please?"

Or

Rename it to the same thing but from another language.

this is simultaneously funny but disturbing and cursed.
