#mud bugs

[great-and-small]

Growing up as an outdoor kid in a rural area and then going into the field of biology as an adult is just like, learning the proper name for a plant or animal, and reflexively going “oh yeah we used to call those [some absurdly folksy nickname that you’re only now realizing sounds ridiculous]”

I’ll casually say something like “yeah don’t walk in that creek I’ve seen toe-biters and mudbugs in the water and the no see ums on the bank are unbearable” and just be totally oblivious to the fact that I sound like an incomprehensible little swamp rat to my colleagues

Attention little boys!! You cannot pass as girls! You have no idea how they act! Porn is not real! Stop trying to catfish like this! My first husband was Louisiana born and bread cajun and I still hate crawfish! 😂😂😂

Even though I've spent my whole life in the South, I cannot bring myself to eat them

If it was said "A man has to draw the line somewhere." I bet a desperately hopeful woman said it first.

- regardless, I draw the line at crawdads.
