I love learning something new from A Word A Day:

"Zucchini is in the etymology, but etymology is not destiny.

These days zoodle often means any vegetable noodle, even when no zucchini is involved.

If that bothers you, feel free to say swoodles (sweet potato), coodles (cucumber), or broodles (broccoli).

Just don’t let the terminology spiral out of control, or you might end up with an impasta on your plate."
