German guy doesn't know daddy long legs

It is called Daddy Long Legs! Oh? Really? Where is it'.... does it have a head? No. Does it have a thorax, or maybe an abdomen? No
 
Daddy Long Legs are not spiders.

Harvestman = Daddy Long-Legs

I've also seen some kind of mayfly referred to with the same name.
