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

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.
