Bermuda

Shorts or onions

Bermuda is a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic, a small archipelago known for its pink sand beaches, offshore banking, and the Bermuda Triangle—a region where ships and aircraft have reputedly vanished under mysterious circumstances.

Bermuda shorts are knee-length tailored shorts, originally worn there.

Bermuda grass is a warm-climate turf grass.

Bermuda onions are large, mild, and sweet.
