That amused me. I have a weed that I now know is knotgrass. I call it
pipeweed which is the name I invented for it before I knew what it was.
It will always be pipeweed to me.

We've got one of those. Our garden was infested with Japanese Knotweed when
we moved in. We didn't know its name then, so we called it Doomweed. We
still do call it that but, fortunately, we managed to get rid of it.
Interestingly, our Doomweed is a very close relative of your pipeweed.
