Well, well, well. I never thought I’d make an entire episode about bugs  and annoying things until Lucas was attacked by a swarm of yellow jackets this week! It got me thinking, why do we say something "bugs" us?

In this episode, Lucas joins me to talk about the everyday things that annoy us. You’ll learn natural ways to say that something bothers you, including&nbsp;to bug someone,&nbsp;get on someone’s nerves, and&nbsp;drive someone crazy.

We’ll also cover the names of common insects in English, explore the difference between&nbsp;bite&nbsp;and&nbsp;sting, and hear the epic tale of how Lucas ended up with 14 stings.
