What do you call your weeds?

[caroline7758]

I posted around this time last year that I was finding more and more Herb Bennett (geum urbanum) in my garden and allotment. I have now re-named this the b****rd plant, as I curse it every time I find it popping up somewhere new. >:(
Does anyone else have their own names for weeds?

Thanks Caroline, I was looking at a plant this morning that I didn't recognise and I'm sure it's Herb Bennet!

At the moment it's in an okay place so I'll leave it be for now.

As for having a name for weeds...!

I let Herb Bennett get hold the year I thought the seedlings were from some cultivated geums. For some reason I find it a hard name to remember, in my head it's always fake-geum....there is fake-parsley as well, but I don't even know the correct name for that!

I dont know what it's called but there is a weed in my garden that fires little seeds when you touch it!!
I swear every time it attacks me :o So you can guess what I call it.
Does anyone know what it's called?
