      As they say, intelligence is knowing tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

      (That’s the saying, but IMO it’s wisdom to know and intelligence to not do it, maybe I’m mixing things up).

      @Ilovethebomb has the answer IMO: knowledge and wisdom.

        Yeah, it seems you’ve heard a version adapted to explain the different D&D stats.

        From Dungeon Crawler Carl:

        I grumbled a bit about that three in intelligence. Yeah, I never did too great in math, but I never considered myself a slobbering idiot, either. I could fix most anything electrical after studying it for a bit. My friend Billy Maloney, now that guy was an idiot. Just last week we’d come out of a bar, and he’d peed right on a cop’s bicycle while the cop was giving someone else a ticket for drunk and disorderly. That guy deserved an intelligence of three, maybe two.

        . . .

        After I complained about my intelligence score to Mordecai, using the Billy example, he said, “Intelligence told you that bike belonged to a police officer. Wisdom told you not to urinate upon it.

      I don’t think vegetable is a botanical term. So fruit and vegetable aren’t really mutually exclusive.
