Non-PC Humour?-

Having, genuinely, highly amused a Bavarian friend by suggesting that a bad-tempered German was a "Sauerkraut"; I'm forced to wonder the effect of suggesting that a displeased Conservative might possibly be a "Fumitory"?
"Fumitory is a plant that has followed humans as a weed in fields and gardens for centuries."
Instantly recognised as the work of a transAtlantic auther;  who else would write up thus:-
"It is also used as a tea as an herbal remedy for intestinal parasites."
Interestingly - I note they do NOT drop the "H" when referring to "Heinous Crimes" on a well-known US cop prog.
I have no idea when it snuck in, but it's been in the garden almost as long as since any of it was "turned soil side up" as an old bloke once described it.
