OBS

Le terme «trieuse à fruits» ne rend pas tout à fait compte de l'anglais puisque le mot «fruit», en français, ne porte pas la même connotation péjorative que son correspondant anglais pris en contexte. En effet, en anglais nord-américain, «fruit» est un injure grossière désignant un homme homosexuel. Le terme apparait la plupart du temps entre guillemets.
