    In dutch they are literally called sea-hedgehog. (zee-egel)

    So, while latin and all is nice, there’s always the dutch way of “doe maar normaal dan doe je gek genoeg”. Which translates into: just behave as regular, that’s more than enough excitement.

      same in German, Seeigel

        Same in Spanish, but from a different root-word. Erizo del mar, which erizo is just a normal hedgehog

      “doe normaal…”

      In french they’re “oursins”, apparently from bears, which they thought had very hard fur.

      Similarly, seals? Sea dogs.

    See, this is why etymology is such a fascinating field.

      Do you speak Latin? I’m trying to learn Latin for fun, and I would like some recommendations. I already have the first Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata PDF.

        I do (or did) speak Latin. Nowadays it’s mostly bits and pieces.

        I’m sorry, but I don’t have anything to recommend

    I’m confused! Doesn’t urchin really relate to children?

    Is that a colloquialism or more English-on-drugs?

    source
    • Saeveo@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The use of “urchin” to refer to children is separate from its original meaning.

      Maybe it became that as a word for something underfoot?

        I like this one the best!

      Thats a street urchin. Strangely this blog post was one of the first links that came up. It ponders how the name street urchin came to be.

    • ClemaX@lemm.ee ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      In French, oursin (urchin) seems to be the diminutive of ours, which means bear. So oursin means something like “little bear”.

    I read somewhere that male hedgehogs have really long dicks. Long enough that they can jack themselves off with their arms. They make awful pets because they get cum everywhere and it starts smelling real bad real fast.

    No idea if this is true or not.
