Do you like the nickname we have given Mosquitoes?

I haven't said it in a long time probably since I was a little girl, but I was listening to a call the other day and the lady said something about skitters. Do you think that is cute or what?

Skeeters. I've heard and used this nickname before. I don't know if it's cute, lol. They are one of the most annoying creatures. And they can carry disease. They really are creepy. I hate it when they fly around you and you swat them away and they just keep coming back.

Now I didnt say I liked them. LOL! I just thought the nickname was cute and thanks for spelling it correctly for me. They are as bad as a fly about just coming back for more.

Skitters? Gee, I haven't heard of this word before. It just reminds me of Skittles, the candy! Anyway, I think I still prefer the nickname "Dracula" for mosquitos because they suck our blood....much more straight to the point!

I heard of it before! My friend said it one time and I was like WHAT?! I think it is cute. I hate those things though. It is raining a lot here and I see that they are coming out. ): Ughs to the rainy/hurricane season.
