Actually, in german, 'mist' means 'manure'. When I took a class in
Kassal, we were always joking about 'eau de ku mist' - odor of cow
manure (sorry, I don't know french). One of my teachers  told us how
surprised he was when a friend gave him a bottle of 'irish mist'.
Also, a fellow student had a bag of 'english mist' brand. They must
have wondered what he kept in there!
