For me, it’s “queso”. 🧀
Kaas.
Fun fact: New York was founded by the Dutch. A curse word for a Dutch guy was “Jan Kaas”, which changed over the years to “Yankees”.
Fun fact: folk etymologies are always lies.
I’ve also heard that ‘gringo’ derives from people telling green-clad soldiers to go away (green, go)
I’ve heard that ‘fuck’ is an acronym for ‘fornication under consent of the king’
All nonsense of course.
Not all etymologies are lies, words do have origins.
Just because you heard some stories which were false doesn’t mean all stories are false.
On this wiki page it is explained that linguistics do believe the word Yankee comes from Jan Kees or Jan Kaas. It explains it can also come from the name Janneke, which is a new to me.

peynir
There’s bound to be a bunch of variations of panir, paneer, peynir etc. around. All of us central Asians call it something like that.
Where in Central Asia is that, if it’s ok to ask? Where I am, there’s irimshik for soft cheese and qurt for dried.
Oh, in my case it would’ve the Dari/Tajik speaking part. It’s the same in Urdu and Hindi, so I just surmised that it’s really common.
