Various things that are called some variation of "pepper" in various languages:
"Pepper," seeds of the plant Piper nigrum, a.k.a. black pepper, used as a spice.
"Peppermint," a hybrid of watermint and spearmint.
The edible fruits of the plants of the genus Capsicum, known collectively as "peppers," which includes bell peppers, chili peppers, etc. (some European languages make a distinction between peppers and capsicums by using the word "paprika" for the latter. A word that is a direct cognate with pepper.)
Allspice, also known as "Jamaica pepper," "myrtle pepper," but also as "spice pepper" in Finnish and Swedish (I suppose as opposed to the kind of peppers that aren't used as spices?), the dried fruits of the plant Pimenta dioica. More closely related to myrtle, guava, and eucalyptus than pepper.
Horseradish, a plant of the family Brassicaceae, thus making it a relative of mustard, cabbage, and radish, known in some European languages as "pepper root."
Ginger snaps, biscuits flavored with ginger, known as "pepper cake" in many European languages.
"Sichuan peppers," the dried fruits of the genus Zanthoxylum. Related to neither black peppers nor capsicums, but part of the same family as citrus.
Undoubtedly forgetting at least some but anyway. Forgot why I was doing this.

How does superglue REFUSE to come out of the tube when you're actively trying to get some out, but as soon as you give up and put it down, the damn thing decides it's time to do world's best pineapple-with-a-werewolf-boyfriend -impression?

"But what if you regret not having kids when you're old?"
I would rather maybe be miserable and regretful when I'm 50 than definitely be miserable and regretful NOW.
