Rutabaga is the French name for what the English call a Swede and the Scots once called a neep or tumshie. (Brassica napus napobrassica). What the English call a turnip is Brassica napa although they sometimes mean the manager of the English football team.
The Swedes call a Swede a Rutabaga too which apparently means red bag in Swedish .
Trust is all now clear
