== Trivia == | |||
* 'Nouveau riche' is a French term which means 'new rich'. It is a term that was often used in a disrespectful manner to describe people whose wealth and property had been acquired within their own generation, rather than by familial inheritance or through ranks of nobility (like Duckula's aristocratic vampire family). | |||
* Lobelia is taken from the name of the flowering herb, which was named for the Belgian botanist Matthias de Lobel (1538-1616). It was used by the author J. R. R. Tolkien in his novel ''The Lord of the Rings'' (1954), Lobelia Sackville-Baggins. | |||
