It's not so much that they call them lizards, it's when it's derogatory in relation to their importance, or awesomeness compared to other animals. Like when Pascal died, people kept saying "He's just a lizard, not like he's important or anything"
Then I pull out my train and slap a ... well you know.

Gotcha! And I now know that you've been lying about something!!
Have I? Or do I just have that very special sense of humour that NOBODY ELSE EVER UNDERSTANDS. It's like a superpower that nobody else can see.

Uh-huh... Good for you! Humor is a good and special trait that more people need to have!

Thank you, it's a gift. The gift of being hilarious but staying straight-faced, so everyone thinks you are serious and might actually be a total psycho. Then they finally 'get' you, and because you're actually weird, they think you are joking when you are serious because you are actually a total psycho.
And now I live in bloody Stepford where being tattooed, pierced and hilarious makes you stick out just a TINY BIT.

I tried covering up, which was easy in the winter, but a bit more of a challenge when it's 110F... they just have to like it or lump it now. I was school governor at our last school, then resigned after having a stand-up row with the headteacher and the village vicar. That was a fun day. But I do like to get involved in school activities.

Why is every stupid lizard called a chameleon by the general public? (Generalization)
Fellow members who are instagram users: PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO HASHTAG YOUR CHAMS #CHAMELEONFORUMS!! Spank ya, spank ya very much!
Well, how the internet has been working for a while now, is quite similar to when you go to check out at the grocery store.
You are barraged with a ton of things you weren't looking for, in the hopes you will decide thats what you were looking for.
This works on people (Americans largely), as they just go, "Oh!! A giant gummy lizard! I NEED that because I keep an anole, and I feel it somewhat is made just for me, because I am special after all."
Its that kind of marketing and advertising strategy that gets the most attention, because if for nothing else, you stop and think, "What the heck is that? Im not looking for that, its quite out of place." so it gets your full attention, even if its just briefly. As long as it gets your attention, thats all that matters.
My favorite current example of this sort of marketing, that many people may recognize, has to do with potato chips.
How many of you have seen: $2 ONLY
$2 ONLY ???? Just what the !@#$ is that?
Its a very subtle, very "elegant", clever bit of marketing, in more than one way.
Anyhow, thats my .02 only on why things may have completely misleading "tags" on the internets...
(By the way, those $2 ONLY Munchos, and Chester's Puffcorn should have rehab programs, just saying...
)
