How did Flies get the honor? (Details )

Asked by MrGrimm888 (19031points) November 30th, 2016

Flying, or the ability to do so, is one of the greatest things in nature. Many birds,insrcts, and some mammals fly. Many are beautiful, scary, or majestic.

Of ALL the creatures that fly,why did the Fly ,get the honor of being called a ‘Fly?’

Thereare some that have cool colors, but they’re still flies. They eat poop. Their young are considered repulsive by most.

You have Dragon Flies, and Horse Flies. All thanks to Flies though.

Why did such a small, unspectacular creature get the honor of such a verb.

We don’t call Fish ‘Swims.’

Don’t call Chetas ‘Runs.’

WTF?
