Than the Wandering Jew?
I'm not a horticulturist and am not familiar with the gazillion different types of plants/shrubs/bushes/etc. I just became aware of this plant today. I laughed. You guys got anything better? |

The people that name plants and animals are doing a systematic renaming of both the common and the scientific (Latin) makes of plants and animals whose names are "offensive.". Pretty sure Wandering Jew is one of them.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By noob5000000: Is pussy willow the other one? My parents have one and I go out of my way to avoid calling it by name in front of them .@noob5000000 An old man is sitting on his porch one day, rocking and passing time. As he sits, a kid walks by, dragging a piece of wire. Old man asks, "Hey little boy, whatcha got there?" Little boy says, "a piece of chicken wire, sir." "Well whatcha gonna do with that chicken wire?," old man asks. "Catch me some chickens, sir" little boy replies. Old man laughs. An hour later, kid walks by the other way, dragging that wire with 4 chickens on it. A few days later, old man on the porch. Little boy walks by dragging some tape. "Hey little boy, whatcha got there?" Boy says, "Duct tape, sir!" "Well what do you plan to do with that tape?" "Catch me some ducks!" Sure enough, a few hours later, boy walks by the other way, dragging that tape with a few ducks stuck to it. A week passes, old man is on his porch. Little boy walks by dragging a weed. "Hey little boy, whatcha got there?" "Got me some pussy willow, sir." Old man jumps up and says, "Let me run inside to get my hat." |

The term Wandering Jew is ancient and well known in literature.

Wife is sorta into houseplants, and exchanges these small pieces of plants with her friends. She got the wandering jew from one of her friends, but everybody was «err yeah it’s not called that anymore». For that reason alone, everytime there is a houseplant-related conversation I make sure to insert myself into it and make excessive inquiries about it and make sure to call it «the wandering jew», especially if they are friends that don’t know me that well

Clitoria is a family of peas. Plants often were named for their supposed uses. The number that have the second Latin name as “syphilittica”would astound most people.
