I haven't heard that name for Cleavers/Goosgrass fo many years. We used to stick it to people's clothes and chant "You've got a Boy/Girl friend!". I even taught my own children that and (from timet o tiem) children in my classes) The best bit was the seeds that stuck to clothes! The were the number of kisses!! So not so boring after all. As for chickweed. Use it in salads...or for all sorts of medicines...particularly for the skin..... Interestingly alongside cleavers!
