Transcript:
Frazz: "Dandelion" comes from the french "dente de lion" or "lion's tooth." Isn't that interesting? Caulfield: It is not. Frazz: Just picture all those weeds, lions and french people in the same place at once. Caulfield: Though I admire your effort.

Actually it should be Dent-de-lion not âDenteâ, I guess we can forgive Jeff for the error.

I was wondering how they got tooth of the lion out of it. Youâre explanation would make more sense. But odd things happen in word origins. And I find it interesting enough to make a comment about them.

In Germany we call it Löwenzahn, which is similar to the french version. Seems to be a European thing.^^
