katydider
This term is primarily used in North American English to describe specific long-horned grasshoppers. It is an onomatopoeic word, mimicking the rhythmic "ka-ty-did" sound produced by the insect's wings, which early settlers interpreted as the insect saying "I cut a dyke" or "katy did."
In a scientific context, the term is less precise than "bush cricket" or "katydid," but it remains the standard colloquial name in many rural regions of the United States and Canada.
