God, what a big, dumb bitch.
Name checks out. He may have prions in his brain..
Telling someone to drink less beer and study more is wild.
Academics in general have a long history of being alcoholics or alcoholic adjacent
There are three types of academics, ones that are addicted to alcohol, ones that are addicted to caffeine, and ones that are addicted to both.
(For health reasons I dont reccomend both at the same time)
how dare you not recommend espresso martiniโs

Ok but "bug" has multiple meanings, and almost nobody means "hemiptera" when they say it. More commonly, it's any terrestrial arthropod. Arachnids are bugs. Centipedes are definitely bugs.
Heck, there's a broader definition that basically includes all arthropods. "Moreton bay bugs" are a popular food this time of year. And they're a kind of lobster.
The ocean is quite literally lousy with sea lice. They've even got rolly-pollies down there.
Not just roly-polies, but Rollison J. Pollimagnussons:
What in the name of Cthulhu is this?
Hereโs what they look like full-grown:
Rollison. And he is a rather pleasant dude.

I make a point of referring to birds as "feather-bugs", much to the weary resignation of my RL friends.

Rattling off insect classifications while a simple pun goes over you're head is a great demonstration of the difference between knowledge and intelligence.

Yeah, but I'm not fixing it, you big dumb bitch.
That was at least 3x funnier than it should have been.
Well done.

In Australia the spiders don't eat bugs, they mostly eat low flying birds and posties
Is it also true that the kangaroos steal all the women too with their statuesque muscles?

Sometimes calling someone a big dumb bitch is the only appropriate course of action.
โBugโ is a folksy word for any invertebrate with 6 or more legs. For example, they call lobsters and crayfish bugs.
many people call slugs, snails, and worms bugs too. So any invertibrate with the right vibes

I've learned recently that "Vegetable" is kind of like that too. Like most vegetables are fruits, seeds, leaves, roots, etc etc. Vegetable is a culinary term, not a botanical one, and it's still foggy. It's basically a plant that isn't sweet, but they also call sweet corn a vegetable so whatever.

Does "bug" have a technical definition? If so then it's news to me and everyone who uses it to mean pretty much any small invertebrate (or microorganism, or software defect).
Well, this has been one of my favorite threads I've seen in a while. Thanks everyone!

what kind of beer do spiders drink? bug lite
By "Mentally Healthy" @EAT_ROAD...:
bad joke, spiders are not bugs only insects of the order hemiptera classified as bugs and spiders aren't even insects. maybe if you drank fewer beer and spent more time studying you would know that but it's your life
