A **snug bug** is a self‑appointed “couch‑cocoon”‑expert, the kind of home‑body who could blend into a pile of blankets and never be found again—unless you’re offering snacks, Wi‑Fi, and zero‑drama. Think of a tiny insect that’s perfectly happy living under the radiator because it’s warm, quiet, and **doesn’t give a flying‑flap** about the outside chaos.
**Origin**
The phrase sprang from late‑2010s meme culture (think TikTok “#StayIn” challenges) and quickly migrated into group chats of anyone who prefers a “home fort” over a “club scene.” The rhyming of *snug* (tight, comfy) and *bug* (small, hidden) gave it the perfect blend of cute and slightly sassy. By 2024 it was a staple insult‑‑turned‑badge for anyone who’d rather be a “cozy pest” than a noisy social‑butterfly.
**Synonyms**
- **cuddle‑bugger** (extra cuddles)
- **cozy‑cave crawler**
- **blanket‑bum**
- **niche‑nest nut**
- **shut‑in shrimp**

- “He tried to hit the club, but his inner **snug bug** screamed ‘stay home, stare at the ceiling, and binge‑watch until the sun burns our eyes.’”
