  • I’m being general as I didn’t list all pets but I’d say that’s a pretty good trio of pet types and pets usually within the groups. It is indeed general and not exhaustive.

    Parrots and monkeys are group 1, for example. Rat and budgie are 2. Spider and lizard and tortoise are 3.

    Sea monkeys transcend all groups and break all rules.


  • Dogs and cats, even piglets, calves and lambs, are friends, family even. Rabbits, guinea pigs etc (all the small / round hairy pets) are skittish, snappy, and friendly only sometimes. Pretty much everything else is some animal you keep in a box and feed.





  • ‘They are called idioms in a sense because some of us can’t help but feel uneducated when we cannot figure out what they mean or why that phrase would come to mean what it does.’

    What? That is not why they are called idioms.

    You also misused or misunderstood the two idioms you used, and also listed the internet one, which isn’t an idiom.
