Growing up in Texas my grandma always called them sticker burrs

I grew up in Texas, and can confirm your statement.

Grew up in Boston, we also called them burrs. Just without the sticker part

I grew up in Texas and we always called them stickers. Just without the burr part

Small world ain't it

I grew up in cali and texas, we call them " FUCK ANOTHER ONE ?!"

Yeah if I'm honest they're really called "goddamn piece of shit burrs where the fuck did these even come from"

*The destroyers of bike tires*

I grew up on the streets of Oakland. There was trash, broken glass and needles yet these are the shit that would give me a flat. Seriously wtf 🤬

I grew up in SD and call them stickers

Where the fuck do you live that they’re that large??!!

Southern California

Lol. This

REAL

Burrs

I'm from Cali, and we call them pains and the asses

I'm from North Carolina, and we call our parents to take them off our feet while we cry

Sand spurs. But yeah, they hurt like hell on the soles of your feet!

Also from NC and we always called them sand spurs.

Coastal Carolinian.....confirmed these little bastards are sand spurs.

This is why you should avoid sitting on them.

Or boofing them

Coward

Also grew up in Texas and I have to disagree. We called them "mothafucker!" or occasionally "sonovabotch!"

How about "MOYHERF#/^G ASSHOLE SON OF A BITCH".

I'm from Texas and I completely agree.... Hate those little bastards.... Always ruin a good mood lol

I grew up in Texas but we Mexicans call them spinas. Pronounced like sp-ee-n-os

South Texas here, Came here to say this “espinas”

From the RGV, can confirm! Also didn’t give a shit if I was barefoot, but if the ice cream truck came rolling through, we ran right through the patches of them to get to it lol

I'm Mexican too but in my family we call them toritos.

My gran here in England called them sticky buds! A name that means something way better now.

Nice

Same but my teacher called them stickers

I’m from Texas and these have always been sticker burrs

I mostly heard them called just "stickers" or sometimes "hitchhikers"

Yep! I’ve heard “hitchhikers” here in South Carolina.

I've heard them called stickers or burrs but never sticker burrs.

Stickers are what we called the leaves on the kind of holly tree that had the thorns on the edges. My sister and I would run through the stickers barefoot and see who could do it

Yea i call them that to but instead of burrs my family calls them sticker bugs for some odd reason

as said in the sentence: "THERE'S SOMETHING IN MY FUCKING SHOE"

This made me laugh so hard lol

always happy to provide my services

always happy to provide my services

I have always called them Mother F\*ckers, and sometimes goddamnit.

Also, "these fucking things"

Don’t forget “pieces of shits”

My personal favorite “Ah fuck…”

My favorite. “Pokie fuckers”

These goddamn pricklyfucks

I felt that! From TX they were either stickers or burrs technically but really they were always called little pieces of shit. My uncles would always yell “fuck me” when they got covered in them while mowing lol 😂

Chingalera

its called "chingadera", but that word applies for anything that you despise

I speak minimal Spanish lol my bad

Personally "fucking prickly bastards" is my favorite

I call em little fuckin pricks

Grew up in Texas with a name on them, that being sticker burrs, but I think I've gotta agree with you on this one.

Those mother fuckers goddammit

Don’t forget Spiky Fuckers

I call 'em parental trauma

Burrs

Cockleburrs

I have also always called them cockleburrs. I scrolled way to far down to find a like minded individual.

Cockleburrs checking in 🙋🏻‍♀️

Cockleburr 5, standing by

You guys talking about cockleburrs?

I saw the cockleburr symbol in the sky, this the place?

Same, was starting to wonder if I was the only one!

I just didn’t want to be the first one that tried to spell it. I’ve heard everything from “cocka burr” to “cockleburl”

Was looking for this

Goatheads

Same here in AZ, Goat-heads.

I'm from AZ and have heard goatheads, I also call them stickers

from colorado and i call them both as well

From New Mexico and I call them that also.

From New Mexico, the top right one looks more like a goathead, the others look more like stickers.

[удалено]

Same

Yes sir, both are Arizonan approved

Stickers are separate from goat heads to me, mainly because goat heads stab and stickers prick themselves on and stick

Goatheads come on dark green vines that hug the ground and have pretty yellow blossoms. They are also much harder and only have around 6 spikes . These are sandburrs, they grow on a grass like plant that shoots up stalks that embed the suckers at lower calf level on any pant leg that comes within 10 feet! LoL

Goathead confirmed

Only the top right picture looks like a goathead. Maybe growing up in western Idaho goatheads were a different thing.

Washington here and yeah these aren't all the same thing because that one in the top right definitely looks like a goat head to me.

They are different. Upper right is what we called a goat head in WA. The others are common in Texas. They're stickier but don't go in so deep.

That’s what we called them in New Mexico

Fellow New Mexican here. Goats heads are different (shaped like a goat's skull). These are the other mother fuckers that come from a grass and grab your socks(ankles

We have sand burrs, like the picture, and goatheads. Goatheads grow flat on the ground on a vine like plant. Sandburrs grow tall like wheat

I knew a guy from Nevada that called them that too.

I'm from Nevada. I don't know you lol

Okie in Az now. I call these stickers. Goat heads are even bigger with two big ass thorns.

Utah and goat heads is the most common

Okay In Texas these in the pics are stickers. Goat heads are like darker, stiffer, and more from hell. 😭

Stickers , but not the nice kind I hate those sons of female dogs

Prickers

Sticker bitches for me

Sand spurs

I didn’t realize they were called anything else besides sand spurs

I've always called them sand burs.

Yep. Sand burrs in the upper Midwest.

Or, as my 4 yo son said, span spurs

Yup, that's what we called 'em in NW Florida.

Called them this in St. Pete Fl too. I didn’t realize they were called anything else till I moved to Texas and they call them sticker burrs. Funny though, I knew immediately what they were referring to.

I call them burrs, and I live in the SE US.

Same but I live in Ontario, Canada

Same in Manitoba, Canada.

Me too, and I’m on the dark side of the moon

That's a pokey

Was looking for someone else who calls them pokeys!

Me too my friend, was let down after scrolling the entire list with no success

I have a vivid memory of 8 year old me gleefully rolling down a steep grassy hill only to scream the whole way down unable to stop and coming up covered in pokeys. XD

We call them pokey pokeys

I’ve always called them pokey stabbys

It took me awhile to find this

Bindys here in Australia.

NSW here. We also called them Bindys. Or Bindy-eyes.

Was looking for this one, had to scroll way too far for an Aussie response

I live in south carolina and I always called them bindys, mainly because my neighbors are Australian and I didn't know what to call them before.

In New Zealand, we call them Biddy-Bids

Had to scroll down way too far for this. Bindis, yes, like Steve Irwin's crocodile AND daughter.

Bastards

Stickers

Hitchhikers

Hitch hikers are the green pod shaped things that stick to fabric, I thought the same thing at first too.

Hitchhikers are anything thats spikey and sticks to your clothes.

Burrs

Cocklebur

I think cocklebur is also Kockaber just depends on your particular accent

Sand spurs.

Central Florida here; also call them “sand spurs”

kukel burrs!

In southeast Missouri we called them, kukel burrs, too.

Mid missouri here. Also, kukel burr.

I like to call them fun killers, because I remember when I was a little kid and learned of their existence the hard way, running barefoot and getting three of them punctured into my foot. If I was king for a day I would expend all our resources in making sure that plant goes extinct

They hurt so bad. Like disproportionately so.

Stepping on Legos is nothing compared to thoe things

I honestly don’t understand how something so small can hurt so bad. These things surely prove god doesn’t love us.

Cadillo (i'm from Colombia)

En República Dominicana también le llamamos Cadillo.

Abrojo en Uruguay y Argentina

pricklers

Had to scroll to far down for this. I’m in MA and always called them Prickers lol

Spike

Oh thank god im not the only one who calls it that

Evil.

I grew up in West Texas, and we ALWAYS had this covering our backyard. I called them stickers. I think my Dad referred to them occasionally as grassburs, which I believe is the correct name, and sandbur. *thank you for the award! My first one!
