You could totally use a Portuguese Man O' War as inspiration for a Fantasy creature. This thing looks like a plastic bag floating on water, and it has tentacles that poison fishes.
In English, it is not obvious.
Our English teacher spent much effort in explaining to us how "public schools" are all private and rather unpublic, with them being only meant for the rich kids. To the little us, this was of course confusing.
