Who's a Bug?

Brian refers to Adrian as "The Bug." The first few times I heard this I found it a little strange. After all, he's an adorable little baby, not an insect. I know babies who are called "panda" and "the mouse," both of which are sweet little monikers. Perhaps Brian sensed my lack of enthusiasm on this topic, because he pointed out that the nickname is short for "snugglebug," which itself is short for "snug as a bug in a rug." My mother used to ask me if I was snug as a bug in a rug, and so now I'm grooving on "The Bug."
