Ribes sanguineum, or flowering currant.

In the Victorian language of flowers, currant meant 'Thy frown will kill me'.

Wife: “You left your hat in the bathroom.”
Me: “Nah, that was X’s hat, I threw it on his bed.”
(30 awkward seconds pass… Wife staring at me, jaw dropped…)
Me (running to grab the hat off the bed), “Shit! How could I forget?!?”
Wife (quietly to her): “That’s a 30 day hex…”
