有關 英語 (美國) 的問題
In the sit com series "One day at a time", a charachter talks to a nun and probably she pretends to be a fervent catholic, so she says "Blessed be the fruit" (there are many laughs), that is from "Hail Mary" prayer but here apparently has no meaning, but sounds like "The fruit = The effeminate gay guy be blessed": Did I understand correctly? Otherwise, what's the meaning of the joke?

ok, this might be a stretch, but it seems like the exact phrasing in the prayer is 'blessed is the fruit' while 'blessed be the fruit' is a phrase & greeting from the show The Handmaid's Tale. it was a popular show and maybe that's the only phrase the character knew that sounded catholic. it makes more sense to me since Schneider isn't gay
