Ignorance
From my partner's colleague, overhearing some chat about the Gurkha legal battle some time ago:

"What's a gherkin?"

She's pushing 40 and is, frankly, thick as fuck.

Alright, maybe gurkha/gherkin...
I can see thick people getting mixed up. I used to get the two confused as a kid as well.

I'm just surprised she didn't know what a gherkin was either.

I'll make it simple
A Gherkin is a nepalese soldier.

A Gurka is what Muslim women wear.

OK now?

No, a gurkha is what Muslim ventriloquists wear
