Happy Swedish National Day! One of my favourite Swedish words is maskrosbarn, which means “dandelion child.” Dandelions can survive in almost any conditions, even growing through tarmac, so a dandelion child is one that still turns out well, despite having a difficult childhood.

Used in Norwegian and Danish as well; “løvetandsbarn” and “mælkebøttebarn” respectively, from the names of the flower.

It's a pretty mordern word (1987?) and refers to "superkids" who manage in spite of it all. In a way, they are the kind of kids that we don't have to worry about. But, then there are others.

Has anyone ever tried shallow frying a few dandelion heads? They are supposedly good for treating a urinary tract infection. In Ireland they are sometimes called "p-ss in the beds"

Thank you Adam, very interesting. The origin of words is too often ignored, it's a true part of culture
