Do you really think that the folksy people who saw this plant as a turkey tangle could not see a frog fruit?

Only if the vox populi meant by Turkey, a country in Anatolia, by tangle, a Norwegian seaweed, by frog, a bit of braid, and by fruit, a flying fox.

Ye gods and little gnats! Two years before the lexicon, and still maypoling thy salted vaults. Do not pass go, do not collect an hundred semolians, do not splice commata, &c., &c.

Ceci n'est pas un seing.
