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

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No, it means lion's teeth.

Pissenlit is piss the bed.

Aka no one in French would call them dandelion

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

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.
