Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

[Bairnardo]

I have it on good authority that, while they are indeed quite dandy, dandelions are not in fact lions. 

Good thread for a dandelion mention.

I absolutely hate those b*****ds

Colleague left work with a cheerful "Mind and cheer on the rangers tonight!" shouted in my door as he walked past.

But dandelion is from the French dent-de-lion (teeth of the lion), named after the jagged shape of the leaves, so chew on that.

pee-the-bed is a name for them in England given the diuretic properties of dandelions.

Think of all the folk waking up this morning with loser flags hanging from poles and windows. Slowly bringing them in, tidying them away to be kept in a cupboard for 50 more years. All with a tear running down a cheek.

Aye changed days. If I went to school with a handbag like they do I'd have had the pish ripped right out of me.

If you're referring to this sort of thing:

I first saw these one year when it was Liam Gallagher day at TRNSMT. The whole city centre full of children wearing these things. I thought I'd entered a parallel universe because there's no way anyone - of any age or gender - should have been wearing those. Yet here they were.
