Literally, a louse, specifically a head-louse. Notionally, a disease which
children accuse other children of carrying, contagious by contact.
Note also that "bug" has transatlantic semantic variation: in the U.K.,
I understand, it refers only to the bedbug (>Cimex lectularius<), whereas
in North America it is an informal term for any insect, and indeed any
bacterium.
