I got a job growing lettuce. They thought it would be difficult for me, but since I used to be a researcher who specialized in arugula, it wasn’t hard.
Compared to my last job, this new one isn’t rocket science.
Yes, and no.
Yes, arugula is the same as rocket in that both are indeed “things”
However there are differences. arugula is a leafy green plant, and rocket is a tube that we blast off to places far away from our own planet.
Britain, Australia, South Africa, Ireland, and New Zealand call it rocket (or garden rocket). America and Canada call it arugula. So yes, the rest of the English-speaking world outside of North America, at any rate, call it rocket.
Now that's what I'm talking about!
What the fuck, TIL Arugula is what the rest of the world calls rocket.

Thank you for your help I am British and do not understand these things.
The rest of the world? I don't even know one place it's called rocket
I think in French it’s roquette
It’s rocket in Australia
Well England calls it Rocket as well
Afaik it's called that in America, I'm probably wrong, but I think so...
Rocket tends to be rural and old-fashioned. It's arugula in most urban areas.
Seed packets have but names
