Dandelion also means pee the bed in French, might be on to something.
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.
No, it means lion’s teeth.
Pissenlit is piss the bed.
Aka no one in French would call them dandelion
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.
Yeah that’s what I meant, around here everyone calls them pissenlit, hence piss the bed.
