frog/toad
8 Answers
On terry and gaby the other day, Danny Baker said there was no difference between frogs and toads, that toads weren't real it was just a description of warty frogs or something like that. However after a google i find sites that say there is such a thing as a toad. Was danny baker talking pants?

I was unfortunate enough to witness some thickheaded announcer recently (day, time and channel, I can't recall unfortunately) who stated as a throwaway remark, that frogs were amphibians and toads are reptiles! (perhaps it was the other way around, but you see my point)
To make matters worse he stated it in a superior tone of voice as if it was obvious!
Incidentally, I was out walking with my sister and her dog the other day...
The dog did exactly what was expected of her and my sister dutifully produced a small bag and scooped up her (the dog's, not my sister's) doings for later disposal!
It was at that point I realised that the little bag she was using had no specific name!
I would therefore suggest that it should henceforth be known as either a "Danny or Baker Bag".
After all, both are full of shi... well you take my point!
I think it was Miles Kington who pointed out that Nature (or God) in its infinite wisdom seems to have made almost every species unique - except for one other. So, there's nothing like a butterfly - except a moth. There's nothing like a rabbit - except a hare. There's nothing like a frog - except a toad. And so on.
