wallflower

Perennial plant native to southern Europe, bearing fragrant yellow and orange flowers. The name is derived from the fact that the plant, when naturalized to a region, is often found growing out of the nooks and crannies in an old wall, or a cliff. The natural tendency for this plant to separate itself from the other denizens of a formal garden, and grow in isolated locations, doubtless led to the use of the term "wallflower" to describe an anti-social, or shy individual, who lingers in the background, against the wall, as it were, at social occasions.

The heady fragrance of wallflowers growing on the embankment wafted up to me.

March Hare

A term employed to state that someone is crazy, e.g., "mad as a March Hare." Derives from the March Hare which Alice pursues down the rabbit hole in Lewis Carrol's "Alice in Wonderland."

He's crazier than a March hare, and needs to be locked up.

schweinstock

German. Literally, "pig stick." Utilized in the movie "Young Frankenstein" to allude to the penis. Dr. Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) is discussing how all the parts of the monster would need to be to "artificially or congenitally englarged." Inga (Teri Garr), the doctor's assistant, gets a strange look on her face and says, "oof...he would have an enormous schweinstock!" To which the Doctor replies with, "Well, that goes without saying..."

"He's going to be very popular," pipes in Igor (Marty Feldman).

What a schweinstock that guy has - he must have to tuck it into his sock!
