For those who don’t know.
Well, childhood mystery solved. When I was younger, my family went to France to visit some relatives. One of the dishes we were served was a salad, and my mom told me it was called pee-the-bed salad. I was so confused and was terrified that I was going to wet my bed that night after eating it. I didn’t, but I had been wondering ever since then what it could have been and why it was called that.
On a second thought, the dandelion’s Hungarian name ‘child’s chain grass’ is pretty reserved.
Reminds me of this old 4chan greentext
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.
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.
