Historically, the term "earwig" was used to describe the act of spying or listening in on private matters, drawing a parallel between the insect’s reputation for crawling into ears (a myth) and the act of stealthy listening. In modern usage, it conveys a casual or sneaky way of overhearing conversations without consent. The wordplay here connects the idea of eavesdropping with a more whimsical and informal term.
