My friends bought me a cake for my birthday, and somehow this made me try to work out the #French #translation for #ColinTheCaterpillar. (I failed, so I looked it up.)

Readers (and in particular my fellow #etymology fanatics): You are not going to believe what I found out.

ENG: Caterpillar - from the #Latin for 'shaggy cat'

FRA: Chenille - from the Latin for 'little dog'

And oui, the French for 'caterpillar' is where we get the haberdashery term 'chenille' from.

I bloody love #words, me.
