From this map we can see that the languages of Europe fall into two clear categories: those who call jellyfish "medusas", and those who decided to not be fucking cowards and came up with some weird shit
A few gaps/uncertainties here, so please correct me with impunity! Also lots of languages have multiple words for this animal depending on dialect/personal preference
