Tf is "global" supposed to mean?
The official common name for the insect, Armadillidium vulgare, in the scientific community. All the rest are colloquial names.
German is not quite correct. We say "Kellerassel".
Keller -> Cellar
Assel -> IsopodIn English isopods qualify as bugs
Bed pisser is just mean.
Roly polys or get the fk out! /s
Did the Dutch confuse them for dandelions?
They were Potato Bugs or Ball Bugs for me as a kid, until I heard Roly-poly from a kid at summer camp.
Does the pissebed eat pissenlits?
That right there's a Chucky Pig
The theory that children get to name these things makes sense.
I've lived in a few places around the UK and I have never, ever heard of a "cheesy bug".
