Roaches infest your home and spread diseases. Butterflies live outside and spread pollen.

Something is telling me there is a language in which pollen sounds similar to their word for Poles. I'm getting German vibes.

Google translate for the Polish comment:

Why does everyone hate pollen, I ask myself for fuck's sake?

Dude was just having some fun with similar sounding words

You hate pollen from plants that evolved to spread it without the help of butterflies and other insects. These plants' pollen doesn't float around causing allergies.
