      I’m sorry but you’re simply incorrect.

      Bug is a technical term. Only insects of order Hemiptera, categorized by the ability to fly and the presence of piercing, sucking mouth parts, are considered true bugs.

      Lobsters are certainly not considered bugs.

        I’m sorry but you’re simply incorrect. Bug can be a technical term, but that doesn’t also preclude it from also being a non-technical term, because words often have more than one meaning. See also: theory.

    The number one rule for pedants is: if you’re going to be pedantic, you’d damn well better be correct.
