I call them isopods but that's only because I started keeping them as pets Rn I have some dairy cow isopods

Me in Australia: Now that's a real Butchy boy.

I mean I have a pair of aquatic sowbugs I've been keeping in an empty yogurt cup. They look like regular sowbugs but they're underwater, hence aquatic sowbug.

I was taught they were called pill bugs. Although I knew them as also roly polys. My mother called them pill bugs, the other kids called them roly polys.

She told me it was an east coast versus west coast name and clearly is more "every group of people had decided they wanted to name this thing themselves" XD

DOODLE BUGS!

Swedish: Gråsugga = gray sow.

My MIL calls them Brick Beetles…cause every time you lift a brick up there one under it. Partner was 30 before she found out that’s not their real name.

It's because they roll up into a cute little ball and it tickles us in a way nothing else does
