American Cheese is a processed mix of cheeses like Colby and Cheddar, and is great.

Kraft American "Cheese Product" is the square sliced "plastic" one people think of.

Good call. According to wiki, the French escale is descended from the Latin scala (ladder)

EDIT: I misread. The modern French word escale (port of call) descended from the Latin scala (ladder), but the similar Old French word escale/eschale (hard skin covering) came from the Old High German scala (similar meaning). BUT, the Norse skala (measuring device) mentioned in the meme DID descend from the Latin scala (ladder)!
