I happened to be looking through one of those nature guide books the other day and was struck by the extremely odd names given to things.
For example there's a fungus called amethyst deceiver.
That's not a fungus name - that sounds like it should be some sort of sorcerer from a fantasy series. They have long black hair and carry a long staff.
Likewise the warty cavalier. He wouldn't be a sorcerer though, he'd be a world weary horseman with a cape lined with faded blue silk.
Chanterelle is a prefect at an all girls school.
Golden Chanterelle is the glamorous new girl. Chanterelle eyes her with suspicion - she's never met anyone that she's jealous of before.
Foxy Bolete is a cabaret dancer along with (heading into moth territory now) merveille du jour.
What other things (not limited to fungi and moths!) have names that could do with New Definitions?
