TEENS: Do you say Kiwi or Kiwifruit?

I was looking at this pic and it was talking about how kiwi's tasted yummy and I was just staring at it wondering what they were on about. Then I realised they say Kiwi instead of Kiwifruit.

BQ Do you like kiwifruit?

BQ2 AIN'T THE KIWI ADORABLE? Not as cute as sheep though...

Update:

the bird not the fruit or New Zealanders

Update 2:

Maybe it's just because I'm a New Zealander

    Haha I just say Kiwi, but then again when I say it, I think of either New Zealanders (yea, nickname and such) and the bird... But I think of kiwi the fruit first

    BQ: Yea somewhat, I haven't had it in a long time tho :/

    BQ2: Haha it is rather cute :)

  • Haha, I'd say it's just because you're from New Zealand. No one I know calls 'em "kiwifruit" :o Just kiwi! :P

    BQ: I'm actually not a fan of kiwi.

    BQ2: Yaw sure :3

    Kiwi, kiwi, kiwi... Say that enough times and it'll start sounding weird 0.o

    Interesting question. Star for you :D

    BQ: Yes.

    BQ2: Yesh :3.

    I saw kiwi...I've never heard it referred to as kiwifruit.

    BQ: I haven't had one in a long time, but I used to love them.

    BQ2: I remember when I was little I had a book about a kiwi bird...I always thought it sounded so funny. I've never really seen one, and all I remember is they're fluffy and have a super long beak. They seem interesting.

    I've always called them kiwifruit. Never heard anyone just call it kiwi...

    BQ: Do you like kiwifruit?

    yes I like them very much :) but I really hate them when they're not ripe yet or taste really sour :( but when they are nice and sweet and juicy they are really nice

    BQ2: they're pretty cute but I always thought it kinda looked like an echidna... maybe their related??? or maybe it's just me...

    :)
