Close. Osage Orange, scientific name is Maclura pomifera. Other vernacular names are Hedge Apple, Bodark. Bodark is from the French Bois d'arc because the wood of this tree is good for making archery bows.

The development of Adams apples are a part of puberty.  All men should have one unless they were really low on testosterone during development or if they are a female who has undergone a sex change operation, I don't know if they develop Adams apples or not.  It is one of the secondary sexual characteristics of men (deep voice, facial hair, pubic hair, etc.).

Adam was created in the image of "god." In fact, he was a self-made man. After a while he got tired of talking to himself so for acceptance, he joined a street gang. They called themselves Muslims or Catholics or Jews and declared to all the animals (that they had dominance over) that they shalt not draw any cartoons depicting anything in a punk-rocker, gothic or graven image. They strutted around their turf changing the rules like masters of a Dungeons & Dragons game always looking for action and another reason to party down.\n\nI suppose Adam was supposed to smarten up somewhere in the story but some bad apples just like to keep going back to touch a hot stove.

In Zechariah 2:8 there's a passage which says, "Israel is the apple of my eye and whoever touches Israel I will deal with them.\n\n" Now, what's the apple of your eye? The "apple" is the very center of the eye; it's the pupil. It is the most sensitive \npart of the body. So, God says, "When you touch the \nmost sensitive part of my body, you are touching me \nand I'm going to deal with you." \n\nPeople ought to learn that from history; Egypt had to learn it; the \nAmalekites had to learn it. The Romans, Greeks, \nSyrians, Babylonians, the Ottoman Empire, the \nCrusaders, Spain, Germany and England and many more \nhad to learn it. \n\nIsrael is the apple of God's eye; not that \nthey're perfect because there are inequities in some \nof the things that Israel does and has done. I'm not \nsaying everything is right in Israel, but God has made \na covenant promise to the nation of Israel and God \nsays, "Whoever curses Israel, I will curse; whoever \nblesses Israel," He says, "I will bless." \n\n\nGenesis 12:1-3\n\nIn these three verses we find three of the most important promises ever given to a man. They were given to Abram or Abraham, as he would later be called. In this passage God promised Abraham three things:\n\na. That out of his loins would come the greatest nation on earth, a people so great in multitude that they could not be numbered by the stars or the sand of the sea: In Genesis 22:17, God said, "That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore." \n\nb. God promised Abraham a land--a land "flowing with milk and honey." It is the land the Bible refers to as the Land of Israel. Israel was the name God gave to Jacob, the son of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham. God repeated these promises both to Isaac, and to Jacob. And let me add; God has never rescinded His promise concerning the Land He gave to Israel--it has always been the Land of Israel and will always remain the Land of Israel.\n\nQUOTE: During the hearing of the British Royal Commission on Palestine in 1937, David Ben Gurion, chairman of the executive committee of the Jewish agency for Palestine, affirmed: "The Bible is our mandate. The mandate of the League is only recognition of this right and does not establish new things." The land has always belonged to Israel.

No, the word "apple" doesn't appear in this Biblical account.  Instead, the KJV uses the word "fruit."  \n\nPeace.

i saw "how do ya like them apples" in Good Will Hunting, ive been saying it ever since!\nIt seems to come from World War 1, when "Stokes guns" fired round shells with sticks that were nicknamed Toffee Apples. In the 1959 film "Rio Bravo", guy throws a grenade, followed by the taunt "how do ya like them apples?".\n\nMaybe it was something that WW1 soldiers shouted when they hit a target with a Stokes gun??\n\nSource: http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...rm=them+apples \n\n\nI found this about numpty on a weird website:\n\nNumpty's are fairly easy to spot in the office-place, but slightly more difficult in the real, outside world. Numpty's usually sit alone, either through choice or force. They most certainly will NOT be identified by the large numbers of cartoon character figures around their computer terminal. They are most certainly NOT Star Trek fans. They can sometimes have very simple (he he he!!) first names, such as John, Goddfrey or Steve. A few times they have been heard to speak in a very thick Lacanshire (Sheffield'ish) accent. But most of the time a Numpty can be spotted simply by their actions at the time.

The sin of our original parents was disobedience by Adam and Eve-and lack of faith on Adam's part-God could have remedied the situation if Adam had resisted Eve's request to eat of the forbidden fruit, which is not called an "apple" in the Bible.\nThere is nothing in the Bible to indicate that Eve had sex with the serpent that was in the Garden of Eden, or anyone besides Adam. \nSince the Bible is where we get our information that Adam and Eve even existed, we might as well stick by that.\nGod bless you as you search an easy translation of the Bible for yourself.

Adam. If you believe in the Bible.

Wikipedia cites Webster's dictionary.\n\n"Webster's 1913 dictionary states that the term '... is so called from a notion that it was caused by the forbidden fruit, (an apple) sticking in the throat of our first parent.'"\n\nThis isn't really a complete answer, but it might be a start.

Popularly, the fruit has been identified as an apple (perhaps as a Latin pun of 'malus' sounding like 'evil' and 'apple'), although the Bible does not identify the fruit as an apple. Judaism teaches that the fruit may have been either grape, fig, wheat, or citron.\n\nIn the philosophical novel Ishmael, the story of eating the forbidden fruit is described as a metaphor for the loss of quality of life caused by the change from hunter-gatherer culture to an agriculture-based society.\n\nThe term "forbidden fruit" is a popular metaphor that describes any object of desire whose appeal is a direct result of the knowledge that it cannot or should not be obtained. The phrase comes from the Bible, where it is the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil eaten by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. According to the narrative, as a result of eating this fruit, Adam and Eve lost their innocence, began to know good and evil, and were exiled from the garden where they were forced to adopt agriculture for a living. The concept of "knowing" good and evil can be best understood as being emotionally entangled with the struggle of determing the difference.

Just below the epiglottis is the angular thyroid cartilage, composed of two vertical plates that join in the front of the neck. The junction of these plates causes the projection commonly known as the Adam's apple, so called because of the legend, referred to in Genesis 3:6, of the apple that lodged in Adam's throat.

Hmmm...that's a good question....\n\nIf I had to guess, I would think it would have something to do with 'The Fruit of Knowledge', which is a biblical reference found in Genesis.  Plus, giving apples to teachers seems like an American tradition.  It may have something to do with that too.\n\nBut the bible never said that it was an apple....so I don't know how it became associated with the fruit of knowledge.
