Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    Why does a hamburger with cheese become a cheeseburger? When I put pickles on a hamburger it doesn’t become a pickle burger. None of this makes sense.

    What is just a burger?

      Why does a hamburger with cheese become a cheeseburger?

      It’s a portmanteau. My guess is this portmanteau came first, and then “hamburger” was shortened to “burger”.

      No idea if my guess is correct or not, though.
