Bug (bug)
n.((?))
Bug
[OE. bugge, fr. W. bwg, bwgan, hobgoblin, scarecrow, bugbear. Cf. Bogey, Boggle.]
  1. A bugbear; anything which terrifies.
    [Obs.]

    Sir, spare your threats:
    The bug which you would fright me with I seek.
    Shak.

  2. A general name applied to various insects belonging to the Hemiptera; as, the squash bug; the chinch bug, etc.
  3. An insect of the genus Cimex, especially the bedbug (C. lectularius). See Bedbug.

    * According to present popular usage in England, and among housekeepers in America, bug, when not joined with some qualifying word, is used specifically for bedbug. As a general term it is used very loosely in America, and was formerly used still more loosely in England. "God's rare workmanship in the ant, the poorest bug that creeps." Rogers (Naaman). "This bug with gilded wings." Pope.

    Bait bug. See under Bait. -- Bug word, swaggering or threatening language. [Obs.] Beau. *** Fl.
