I was the only person in a group who didn’t know. Everyone else knew a nickname as well as a common name.
Even when I saw a photo it meant nothing to me.

Yes, but only because my gran had a conversation about them five years ago and I had to leave the room to 1) look up what they were, and 2) mop up the tears of laughter after she said she was plagued by cockchafers
I’m a big fan of how it looks like they have massive eyebrows.
Is this about cycling? If so, yes.
Ok seems about 60% don’t know. I’m happy with that.
The group I was in were incredulous that I didn’t know what they were. Like it was impossible to live in the UK without seeing them.
So, those of you who didn’t know. If I show you this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockchafer

I thought I knew what raunchy was. Then I read this

Best read when you’ve got some alone time, if you know what I mean.
Thought it was a bird tbh.
Mayflies are like little dragonflies. Maybugs are cockchafers.
It’s what they call me in the Countdown community.
So annoying that it’s a ten-letter word though, isn’t it?
Pretty hard to miss them, the day or so they are alive is chaos, dented cars, smashed windows, they are hardcore
COWBANGER is a nice 9 that also sounds a bit rude.
Sounds painful.
COWABUNGA would be the greatest Countdown 9er.
