That’s how I felt when I learned the German word for bat, “fledermaus,” means “flutter mouse!”
(Fleder, from an old form of the modern German “flattern,” is in English, “flutter.”)

I love “flutter mouse”! I had heard that in Swedish, the name for a bat is roughly “flappy mouse.” I like “Flutter” more. It’s less disparaging. 😆
