    Dandelion also means pee the bed in French, might be on to something.

      No, it means lion’s teeth.

      Pissenlit is piss the bed.

        Yeah that’s what I meant, around here everyone calls them pissenlit, hence piss the bed.

          I did, sometimes, as a child. We called them pissenlit et dandelion, both pronounced in French.

          I grew up speaking both English and French though.

      Ironic, given that the English “dandelion” was borrowed from the Old French dent de leon (“lion’s tooth”).

        Lion not Leon

        Leon is a proper name for a person.
