Like how people call crane flies "mosquito hawks" but crane flies don't even have mouths as adults and don't eat mosquitoes. People don't realize you can call a crane fly a gollywhopper and be more accurate.
That's a perfect example!

This was asked many years ago on Reddit and after that I concluded that only British Columbians call these Wood Bugs.
Never heard of a Roly Poly or Pill bug before i saw that post.

Lol. When I was 4 my pet parakeet died and my parents told me they buried it. My thinking was it probably died because they buried it so I dug it up and put it back in its cage. My Mom was horrified.

So I never really though about this before this post, but the Dutch name is actually really fucking weird. They're called "pissebedden" here, which is a combination of "pissen" (to pee) and "bedden" (beds). I read that apparently there was a superstition that they would help against bed wetting of you put them in your bed before sleep. I guess that'd help because it'd be hard to sleep with those buggers crawling around in your bed. What's also weird is that the name isn't literally "bed wetters" because then the words should be reversed like "bedpissers" or something. So it's more like "pissybeds" in English.
Idk what tf they were smoking tbh, but it's the normal word for them and is even used on Wikipedia. Li they're talking about the zoetwaterpissebedden (fresh water pissybed) as if this is a reasonable scientific name.
