Usage Examples

One of the big questions in the climate change debate: Are humans any smarter than frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat, it won't jump out. Instead, it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing.

I liked the name Frog Brigade because it lent itself to a lot of cool imagery with the whole frog thing.

Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it.
