What would you call the above bug if you saw it in the wild, wild streets of neighorhood? Well, I and a group of friends saw the exact bug above (thus the picture), and in between insane gestures, jumping up and down, and people screaming, everyone was yelling to look at the "leaf-bug". So, I'm pretty sure that the really name for the insect isn't "leaf-bug". But we were all so quick to spew that name out, almost all at the same time, like we knew that was the name. Maybe it is named that. Anyway, the point I'm getting to is: why are some things named so descriptively simple? Such as the "leaf-bug", and while on insects, how about a "walking-stick". Then things such as an "orange". What about "cork-board". The list goes on and on. It seems to be more of a modern phenomenom though. Anything new that comes out or is invented seems to be a description of what it does (printer), what it can do (flushables), or what it looks like or is (keyboard). When are we going to have some inventive and creative names for the next big thing? My suggestion is to call whatever it is....Smookle. I can't wait to see what it is.
