I am wondering about this for some time now. This seems to describe one of the moods of a Haptek-character. Also once a chatterbot on the web said to me: "I am eating bugs"

What does that mean? And is it a common American expression?

i belive that there is a Haptek charcter that is call BUGEATER

Maybe somebody was using the character, and added that phrase:::

In "quickview" the command line "eater of bugs" makes her look all upset like she just ate a bug.

Actually, since Hal's creator, Robert Medeksza is of Polish descent, I recall somewhere that ZABA means "Frog" in Polish, which of course led to Zabaware. His Zaba Frog would then be the "eater of bugs."

And now you know the rest of the story....

In the world of AI it's the thought that counts!

You correct.......

Polish frog: zaba (where z is pronounced like J in the french name Jaques)

At bottom of the title page of

it reads as follows:
ZABA is from the Greek word, "tzaba", which means, "free" or "at no cost"
