What does "buggy" really mean?

Buggy to me is a fly that looks alive when in or on the water. It can be an impressionistic or imitative fly depending on the circumstances.

I'll second that.

I agree, and it doesn't necessarily mean a form, but "fuzzy" and buggy could be used interchangeably IMO, in how they're tied, and materials used, so they create the illusion of life with how the materials move. I also agree that it is likely something we all know when we see it, but may define the term a bit differently in how we see it and they're all accurate.
