— fun fact: apparently the British (including British translators of Scandinavian, Dutch, Belgian, etc novels) call potted plants (like houseplants) “pot plants.”It probably doesn’t help that my preferred reading matter for relaxation is noir police procedural, preferably Scottish (“tartan noir”) and Scandinavian (“Nordic noir”). It has broadened my dark imaginings immeasurably.
This is really jarring when reading about arrested drunken suspects in the police station puking into the station “pot plants.”
