Emmet
Old word, ant
Emmet is a dialect word for an ant, surviving mainly in Cornwall and parts of southwestern England.
There it has taken on a second meaning: a tourist, especially one who swarms to coastal areas in summer like ants to a picnic.
The term carries mild disparagement—locals watching their villages overrun by holidaymakers.
The emmets have arrived for August.
