Cultural Note
'Follement' derives from 'fou/folle' (crazy), equating intense love with a kind of beautiful madness. The phrase 'à la folie' (to the point of madness) is a step beyond 'follement' in the daisy-petal game, representing the most intense form of love before the playful reversal of 'pas du tout.'
