Yeah I always assumed "bug" was like "vegetable"


it's a colloquial, not taxonomic, term. But there are "true bugs" so maybe the analogy isn't completely sound.

(And tomato is absolutely a vegetable.)

Agreed. In my mind "bug" has always meant arthropod. So it's include insects, spiders, crustaceans, etc.

I'd prefer vodka in watermelons, personally!
