As snug as a bug in a rug #1 (permalink) Mon Mar 17, 2008 12:02 pm   As snug as a bug in a rug
 

Hi all,

I was reading an article yesterday and happened to stumble upon this idiom --
"as snug as a bug in a rug". It means "to feel very comfortable and warm".
I thought of sharing it with you all.

I liked its rhythm. Smile

Hello,

How is this used? My dog is as snug as a bug in a rug in his new crate? or He is feeling as snug as a bug in a rug?

Yes, those are fine. It is a rather casual comparative, so don't use it in a TOEFL essay.
