Adorable etymology

Sep 26, 2012 19:18

Read in a book that the name "daisy" means "day's eye" (and the internet further informs me that it's from Old English - dægesage, where dæg is "day" and age "eye"). Possibly it's one of those things that should be creepy to imagine, but I find it's simply too cute to think of the day tucking itself up, getting more and more dozy by degrees as the sun sets and the flowers close up in the shade. Now I keep cooing over daisies. So glad spring's come around again.

In the opposite of this sweet fact, you know what's the worst song to have looped in your head? GODDAMN KUFUFU NO FU. KHR anime crew: that was an admirable, bold step in character-song history. But hooooly shit I'm going nuts.

reborn!, world, omg heart
