OUT!! #29: Urban Dictionary Describes Bugs and Other Internet Maladies

Over the past few days, I have been doing insect programs at work and I wanted to know what people's perceptions of insects are in general. And what better way to find that out by doing two basic tests: The Urban Dictionary Test and the "What Does the Internet Think?"Scale.

The five test words are the following:

1. Bee
2. Wasp
3. Spider
4. Stink Bug
5. Insect

First up, the Urban Dictionary Test revealed the following:

1. Bee
 
 2. Wasp






3. Spider
4. Stink Bug






5. Insect





A series of mixed results indeed. The stronger, "What Does the Internet Think?" scale should be able to determine the people's thoughts about their invertebrate counterparts.

1. Bee








2. Wasp








3. Spider








 4. Stink Bug
 








5. Insect








Mostly negative with the stink bug being inconclusive. Clearly this tells me two things: 1. the people hate bugs and 2. I didn't have a good topic for this week and wanted to squeeze a subpar blog posting. I promise I'll have something better next week!

Enjoy your weekend all!
