I was watching a recent replay of a CS:GO match. For some reason the casters kept talking about a team "keeping great control of banana". For example at around 19:04 in this ESL video. At first I thought I misheard, but then I checked various maps online, including this one:
And for sure, there it is: "BANANA".
All of the other callouts / names on this map make sense somehow. Is there some inside CS:GO joke that I'm missing here?
Why is it called "Banana"?

The answers are correct, however the reason that this term has won through is probably because of the first letter of banana --> path to b.

The wall texture on the original Inferno (1.1/1.3) was yellow and the shape of the path was a banana.

This is the correct answer that predates even CS1.6, as 1.6 changed the colors of the walls to a very grayish-bluish color.
