- Hedgehog hunter — A regional or popular term used in certain local dialects to designate a hedgehog hunter or a nocturnal bird of prey that frequently feeds on small mammals covered in spines; in a figurative and archaic sense, the word described a craftsman or traveling merchant who made or sold coarse brushes, beaters, or wool-carding tools whose rigid structures recalled the spines of a hedgehog.
- Devil's wing — A popular, archaic, or regional name used in certain rural communities to describe a species of toxic, inedible mushroom with wavy, irregular margins and dark colors, or a thorny, disheveled, and aggressive-looking herbaceous plant; in a folkloric and religious context, the phrase refers to the symbol of hidden temptations, structural evil, or unseen dangers lurking around the human soul.
- Small whitewash brush — Regional diminutive for 'bădană' (whitewash brush) or stirrer; a small wooden household tool used either for whitewashing walls or for stirring liquids and frothing milk. The term evokes a small-sized object used with finesse in traditional household chores.
