    A toad is a type of frog. These guys are all posers.

      Here’s the thing. You said a “toad is a type of frog.”

      Is it in the same order? Yes. No one’s arguing that.

      As someone who is a scientist who studies toads, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls toads frogs. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing.

      If you’re saying “frog order” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of Anura, which includes things from treefrogs to dendrobates to squeakers.

      So your reasoning for calling a toad a frog is because random people “call the green ones frogs?” Let’s get lizards and turtles in there, then, too.

      Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A toad is a toad and a member of the frog order. But that’s not what you said. You said a toad is a frog, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the frog order frogs, which means you’d call ghost frogs, shovelnose frogs, and other frogs frogs, too. Which you said you don’t.

      It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?

    All frogs are toads, but not all toads are frogs.

    Edit: whoops, other way around. Couldn’t remember which.

      Other way around. Toads are a specific type of frog.

    There’s been an odd surge of frog stuff recently. There are a ton of frog based games that have either recently released or will release soon.

    I’m not against it, I like frogs, but it is unusual.
