What I call the empty bottle of ale

And in Catalan: os rentador.

Interesting that it's the same meaning. I wonder if it came from the Germanic word (particularly the Dutch), or if both languages ended up calling them the same thing independently?

They are "invasive" even where they are native. I go camping in national parks in the south of Québec and those cute little things are annoying as hell. They steal and chew anything you leave unsupervised at your camp site. They come scratch and sniff your tent multiple times a night.

Les osti de ratons!
