Definitions and meanings of "Burdocks"

What do we mean by burdocks?

Any of the species of biennial thistles in the genus Arctium.

Playful term of endearment for one's plump buttocks Urban Dictionary

Burdock is any of a group of biennial thistles in the genus Arctium, family Asteraceae. The prickly heads of these plants are noted for easily catching on to fur and clothing, thus providing an excellent mechanism for seed dispersal. Burrs cause local irritation and can possibly cause intestinal hairballs in pets. However, most animals avoid ingesting these plants. Urban Dictionary

(-n) A British drink made by gathering dandelions, crushing them to extract the flavour and by mixing a rather obscure purple food colouring. Urban Dictionary
