I've always heard it as "mother-in-law's tongue".  (And as a pagan
who isn't yet a mother-in-law, I prefer it that way :-)  An amazing if
unlovely plant that you can't kill if you try.  I got one from my grandmother, 
who had stored it in her very dark basement for 5 years.  She didn't
really want it and sort of hoped it would die.  It was still green.
