Amerigo Vespucci was humorously nicknamed the "Pickle Dealer" due to a misinterpretation of his surname. In Italian, "Vespucci" sounds similar to "cucurbitacee," which refers to cucumbers and pickles. This nickname reflects the playful nature of historical anecdotes surrounding explorers and their exploits rather than any actual connection to pickles. Ultimately, the title is more of a lighthearted quip than a serious moniker.
Columbus is a phony because he got credit for what Amerigo Vespucci discovered. Christopher actually only found the Bahamas. Amerigo Vespucci really discovered America. I don't know why we celebrate ''Columbus Day'' he didn't even find anything! I personally don't celebrate the holiday. I'd rather celebrate ''Amerigo Day'' than ''Columbus Day'' any day!
