In the United States, however, both "fruit" and "fruitcake" are seen as negative with fruitcake likely originating from "nutty as a fruitcake" (a crazy person). A costermonger was a street seller of fruit and vegetables. The term, which derived from the words "costard" (a type of apple) and "monger", i.e. "seller", came to be particularly associated with the "barrow boys" of London who would sell their produce from a wheelbarrow or wheeled market stall.

Abelian variety of CM-type CM-type is a description of the action of a (maximal) commutative subring "L" of End("A") on the holomorphic tangent space of "A" at the identity element. Spectral theory of a simple kind applies, to show that "L" acts via a basis of eigenvectors; in other words "L" has an action that is via diagonal matrices on the holomorphic vector fields on "A". In the simple case, where "L" is itself a number field rather than a product of some number of fields, the CM-type is then a list of complex embeddings of "L". There are 2"d" of those, occurring in
