the only creature that drinks through its skin and hears through its eyeballs
means The plural of frog: small, smooth-skinned, jumping amphibians that live both in water and on land and are famous for their croaking and long, sticky tongues.
from From Old English 'frogga,' a playful little word that sat alongside the older 'frosc' or 'frox.' It belongs to a wide Germanic family — a cousin of Dutch 'vors' and German 'Frosch' — and the whole brood likely traces back to a Proto-Germanic root meaning roughly 'to jump' or 'spring,' which is about as honest as a name can get for something that does little else.
