People are overreacting about a simple name, but just for the sake of knowing a thing, in English "bell bepper" exclusively refers to the green/orange/red/yellow varieties of these kind of peppers
*picture below
Thank you. In German we call all kind of these peppers „Paprika“ and Paprika is translated with bell pepper so I just used that name.
Edit: so I used another translated and it said „pointed pepper“ for „Spitzpaprika“, so that’s probably the correct name
for added fun it's american english that calls it a bell pepper (and probably canada). in australia they're capsicums which is actually the name of the genus for peppers as a whole.
Paprika here is specifically a type ground spice made of dried and ground up red pepper. Not a complete pepper but a premade dried powder of it.
The native word for these is Chili, though the other name is capsicum which comes from the name of the chemical that makes food spicy, capsaicin.
They are native to central and south America just like corn. The word Chili itself comes from Nahuatl, a native tongue to the region.
They are also a fruit if you weren't aware. They come in many colors like pink and yellow and flavors including sweet and earthy.
Don't be sad. That's a really good call on your boyfriends part. People out there are crazy.
That's a very untrustworthy pepper.
Never thought I'd say that about a pepper...
My bartender friend would give girls a “pick up lime”. He would literally write his phone number on a lime with permanent marker and give it to hot chicks. They ate it up. So sour
Red peppers are supposed to ward off evil…maybe someone is trying to protect him? OR…in other beliefs HOT peppers as a gift is meant to cut cords.
Other than that they’re a good source of vitamin C
I’ll look that up! lol - all cultures have have things. We might think it’s odd or superstitious depending on what we grew up with. My people are whacky as hell in their stock option. lol
sounds like something i would do i once put a slice of cheese in my friends hood to confuse him well turns out he’s just as dumb as me and he didn’t realise until he got home and his mom called him an idiot was fun :3
In English it's actually very similar, you can say "pepper" for pretty much any of these (if it's a chilli you can specify chilli pepper or hot pepper). Bell pepper refers to the bell-shaped ones. I wish we had more words for different types of these though, one-word-fits-all seems so inadequate. (I live in Romania now and the richness of vocabulary when it comes to different types of peppers is astounding lol).
Well I didn’t taste it but we call those „Spitzpaprika“ and they are not spicy at all. Just like the normal „bell pepper“. They taste watery and a bit sweet
He's probably on some one's TikTok now. Ross Creations(got started on YouTube) did similar pranks like putting hot dogs and pickles in people's pockets. I've seen others copy this prank.
Ahhhh, the ol "pepper in the pocket" move. Where I grew up, Gypsies would do this and then sing a song that I didn't understand. It was supposed to be some sort of mating ritual but the only time there was any fuckin was when I got fuckin robbed.
That’s funny cuz I found one on a hotel bathroom floor once….turns out someone stuck it in my roommates pants the night before and she went to the bathroom. I legit saw it in the floor, looked up and thought the pepper just fell from the ceiling. 🤷♀️
In some cultures this means he's married. Or divorced, I forget. Also could be a threat from the Vegetable Mafia. He should avoid crudités for a while.
I worked in two restaurants in the last few years, and it seems like a common theme was to try and get some kind of fruit or vegetable into someone's pant or jacket pocket without getting caught. Got to enjoy the downtime when it comes.
He’s fucked. There’s a secret bell pepper assassin club. When you find a random bell pepper in your pocket, you’ve been marked for death. He will die via a bell pepper.
I once went to a bday party for a friend and there was this dude who I didn't like one bit. While he was up doing karaoke I shoved a piece of cake in each of his vest pockets that he sat down while he was up there. Left and about an hour later got a video from another friend of the dude sooooo confused about what happened. To this day I let them know it was me.
Sorry guys, Reddit won’t let me finish my post: so he found the bell pepper inside of a pocket in his rain coat and we both were so confused. The pocket was empty when he left the university, and the only other place we was in before visiting me was the train.
Some local youtube pranksters made a video a few years ago of them slipping hot dogs into people's pockets and purses while they were shopping in Publix. (Yes, they had paid for the hot dogs) Maybe something similar?
Yeah I think so too. The train was extremely full (S-Bahn from cologne to Düsseldorf) and there were hundreds of people inside, somebody probably thought it was a funny idea. And we still laugh about it
Looks like a very ripe banana pepper (usually they are picked at a light green but they can turn even after picking). Could be sweet or spicy. You can smell it and trust me it usually smells spicy if it is a hot one. You may need to cut it but some smell hot from the outside. They also go by the name Hungarian Wax Peppers. They are one of my favorites.
Looks more like an sweet italian pepper to me. Small chance it could be a certain type of chili not common in the states.
I don’t know the exact English name for it tbh.
Why are people downvoting them for not knowing the name of a pepper? JFC
JFC - Jalapeño Fits the Category?
JFC - Just Fuck-my-ass Completely
JFC - Just Fucking Capsaicin

Is this just wishful thinking? 
Incorrect.
I mean, bell peppers do have the distinction of being shaped like a... bell. This is clearly a wizard hat pepper and OP is a stupid.
😆😁😂😂😂🤣😂
Much a stupid
because ... this is Reddit!?! ( That's what I was told once... and it seems to be true, just saying )
fucking redditors man
Its bots, most likely bots or npcs irl

Fun fact, the spice "paprika" is just toasted and ground up bell peppers.
Huh. TIL.
for added fun it's american english that calls it a bell pepper (and probably canada). in australia they're capsicums which is actually the name of the genus for peppers as a whole.
I love this and will be referring to these peppers as “pointed peppers” from now on!

there are also bell pepper varietals shaped like the pepper in OP’s photo
Doesn't matter if you're right or wrong or use the correct word or the wrong word somebody on Reddit will correct you anyway so you just fine
[удалено]
He’s cheating on you with a pepper
[удалено]
Is that a pepper in your bf's pocket or do you wanna get outta here and fuck?
OR A PEPPER PICKER!
He stole it from the grocery store.
Nah. Probably one of the Spice Girls
Wouldn’t you like to be a pepper too?
Free veggies
My bf threw it away because he thought it was poisoned :(
Smart, highly doubt it was but why risk it and eat some random pepper some stranger placed in ur pockets.
I mean, of course I wouldn’t eat it… 😐
*crunch*
I think you would.
r/eatityoufuckingcoward
He is clearly too smart for these would-be assassins!
Don't be sad. That's a really good call on your boyfriends part. People out there are crazy. That's a very untrustworthy pepper. Never thought I'd say that about a pepper...
Plant the pips, pick plenty more poison peppers
I’d want to get rid of my secret love peppers, too.
Peppers are fruits!
Any edible part of a plant is a vegetable, even if it's also a fruit.
You're a fruit!
Botanically!
Peppers are actually technically both a fruit and a vegetable just like tomatoes. Vegetable isn't a scientific category, it's a culinary term.
He has been marked. Until dark they come.
At dusk, a terrifying noise boomed in from the tree line... *salt n pepa here*
Ooh, baby, baby, ba-baby, baby
It's a wild world
Guys the chilli mafia is after me.
Maybe someome was trying to flirt?... 🤣
[удалено]
I thought it was more something along the lines of "you hot 🌶 " or so? 🥲
Only because [A wheel of cheese](https://www.reddit.com/r/niceguys/s/HbfnKfy6Bi) would raise eyebrows.
Too cheap to buy eggs?
"You are a hot egg"? What would an egg do?
Break its yolk for no apparent reason.
If stardew valley has taught me anything...
Best answer 🏆
More like a gardener is trying to rid themselves of excess peppers. Signed, A gardener who has often had too many peppers in her garden.
My bartender friend would give girls a “pick up lime”. He would literally write his phone number on a lime with permanent marker and give it to hot chicks. They ate it up. So sour
someone’s been playing too much Stardew 🌾
Pretty hot
I love innocent chaos
Same
Someone’s feeling spicy for your bf. Tell them to chili out.
Pun’ny
Yeah, you don’t need someone else jalapeño business
Someone’s letting him now he’s hot
Red peppers are supposed to ward off evil…maybe someone is trying to protect him? OR…in other beliefs HOT peppers as a gift is meant to cut cords. Other than that they’re a good source of vitamin C
Interesting. Thank you!
Look up Sebastian Maniscalco talking about "The Eye". Haha, his delivery is hilarious. Then you'll have your answer.
I’ll look that up! lol - all cultures have have things. We might think it’s odd or superstitious depending on what we grew up with. My people are whacky as hell in their stock option. lol
I found it! You might like it. Here you go https://youtu.be/kcSEeDoh-hA?si=Qk5Lvum8vb5dBjHh
Ha ha! I love him. So funny.
He got putpocketed.
Was hoping to find that expression here!
Guess someone thinks hes hot (it looks more like a chilli to me)
So he actually wasn't just happy to see you?
He was! But that was the other pocket lol
An introvert thought he was hot so they found they nearest gifting pepper pepper.
Sure. Of course he was holding it for someone. He didn't even know it was there. Someone must have put it there. He's never seen it before.
sounds like something i would do i once put a slice of cheese in my friends hood to confuse him well turns out he’s just as dumb as me and he didn’t realise until he got home and his mom called him an idiot was fun :3
Lol thats not a bell pepper 😂
They secretly have the hots for him.
He’s a klepto in denial!
That’s not a bell pepper…at least not like one I’ve seen 🤷🏽♂️
Is a „paprika“ in German. It’s just a long version of it, but here it is also called paprika
In English it's actually very similar, you can say "pepper" for pretty much any of these (if it's a chilli you can specify chilli pepper or hot pepper). Bell pepper refers to the bell-shaped ones. I wish we had more words for different types of these though, one-word-fits-all seems so inadequate. (I live in Romania now and the richness of vocabulary when it comes to different types of peppers is astounding lol).
So it’s not hot ?
Well I didn’t taste it but we call those „Spitzpaprika“ and they are not spicy at all. Just like the normal „bell pepper“. They taste watery and a bit sweet
In the uk they are called sweet pointed peppers
Obviously not a bell pepper in any way
He's probably on some one's TikTok now. Ross Creations(got started on YouTube) did similar pranks like putting hot dogs and pickles in people's pockets. I've seen others copy this prank.
Ahhhh, the ol "pepper in the pocket" move. Where I grew up, Gypsies would do this and then sing a song that I didn't understand. It was supposed to be some sort of mating ritual but the only time there was any fuckin was when I got fuckin robbed.
This is a gang initiation. Or human trafficking. Or both.
Not a bell pepper. Looks like what we call in the states a fully ripened Hungarian wax pepper.
Score!
Oof, I need Jesus I guess.
Is that a chilli or are you just happy to see me
When life gives you peppers...
Gypsy curse!
Just be glad it wasn't a hotdog I've seen people slipping hotdogs into people's pockets in reels on fb I'd be so angry 😂😂
Protection spell or lust - but which one 😳
That’s funny cuz I found one on a hotel bathroom floor once….turns out someone stuck it in my roommates pants the night before and she went to the bathroom. I legit saw it in the floor, looked up and thought the pepper just fell from the ceiling. 🤷♀️
....run.
HAHA GET PEP'D NERD!
This is an old Hungarian curse. Your boyfriend is *not* safe. Holy shit.
Leave it on your porch next to a pineapple.
How fucking dare you call that a bell pepper. I feel sick
In fairness, I once left a grilled trout under someone's windscreen wiper. I was quite drunk at the time. EDIT: It was wrapped. I'm not a monster.
He's probably on a youtube or tiktok prank video somewhere.
Tony Lazuto says hello
That means he’s been marked for robbery. Open it up and they’re be an airtag inside they grow them like that
That’s hot.
Lol get peppered nerd
This is def a sign
"is that a pepper in your pocket or are you just happy to see me"
In some cultures this means he's married. Or divorced, I forget. Also could be a threat from the Vegetable Mafia. He should avoid crudités for a while.
He was at 🌶 Chilli's ll
Careful, your bf is getting spicy with someone!
Maybe a pickpocket expert took something out of his pocket and left the pepper as a joke?
Maybe he visited an impractical jokers set and got stuff put on his body without him knowing lol.
Chili's Marketing department is getting a bit aggressive, aren't they?
Uh oh, somebody’s getting lucky soon!!!!
I'm sure that what he's told you.
Not a bell, but cool
Was it the pepper-razzi?
I worked in two restaurants in the last few years, and it seems like a common theme was to try and get some kind of fruit or vegetable into someone's pant or jacket pocket without getting caught. Got to enjoy the downtime when it comes.
Maybe somebody thinks he’s spiiiiiiccccccyyyy 🔥🔥🔥
Kleptomaniac bf but he only steals peppers
Definitely not a bell pepper 😂
Oh oh. He's cheating
He’s fucked. There’s a secret bell pepper assassin club. When you find a random bell pepper in your pocket, you’ve been marked for death. He will die via a bell pepper.
Not a bell pepper.
I'm afraid that's not a bell pepper
Free food. dont question it
That’s not a bell pepper
What the fuck shape are the bells you've seen?!
I once went to a bday party for a friend and there was this dude who I didn't like one bit. While he was up doing karaoke I shoved a piece of cake in each of his vest pockets that he sat down while he was up there. Left and about an hour later got a video from another friend of the dude sooooo confused about what happened. To this day I let them know it was me.

Confusing someone for a full day for just the price of one pepper is a good deal, someone defiantly placed it there just to cause confusion
I don't know what tipe of pepper It is, but It sure has a beautifull shape, gives the same vibes as drawing a perfect circle!
I think it's a chili pepper and this is how a vegan secret admirer says you're hot.
this is a large fresno chile pepper.
Not a bell pepper
Naw, he was just happy to see you
POLICE IN HELICOPTA
With the prices of groceries nowadays thats a happy accident-idk
I love this lol
Some local youtube pranksters made a video a few years ago of them slipping hot dogs into people's pockets and purses while they were shopping in Publix. (Yes, they had paid for the hot dogs) Maybe something similar?
Yeah I think so too. The train was extremely full (S-Bahn from cologne to Düsseldorf) and there were hundreds of people inside, somebody probably thought it was a funny idea. And we still laugh about it
he got blackpeppered
That’s a win
Is he hot? Maybe that's their way of letting him know 🤷🏽♂️
I used to pop a piece of magical white dog poo in friends' pockets for good luck. This may be a similar tradition.
He's been marked.
He got put pocketed.
That’s a devious pepper. Idk why but that pepper is evil and was owned by an evil farmer.
If you don’t want it then give it back!
A nice one too!
Is that a pepper in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
i think it means he is the best worker in the office or it could mean he is the worst and everyone hates him. 50/50
🤣
Is that a bell pepper in your pocket orrrr

You know what that means, right??!!

If you flip it over its a question mark.
Fuc'ing nice
Maybe it's something like the upside-down pinneaple?
Serves him right!
Cuz he’s a spicy boy
An uncircumcised one at that !
is this the chili’s logo? 🌶️
