- EForEndeavour 3y agoI've always found the French word for dandelion unreasonably amusing. I'm imagining walking in a garden or nature path pointing out plants to a child: What pretty crocuses! And there are some beautiful tulips. Here we have some bed-pissers. What a lovely rose bush! Oh, look out for that patch of pants-shitters. Etc.
