I thought it was some herb called "Abi". Hence, it "Was Abi", and subsequently Wasabi. Not.

I believe its a type of horseraddish, the wasabi (root) is grown mainly in Japan, very expensive. Most sushi bars use regular horsraddish that is colored the familiar wasabi green. This is what i remember of it.

A genius comes in all shapes and sizes. Umbriel hasn't invented a thing. He quotes and sometimes he is wrong.
You have flair. Flair is special. Flair is rare and flair is genius-like.
*Also, a genius does not brag... they are far too busy with their flair for that.
