That's why little boys (& some big ones) dance when they gotta pee -- it's when the worm squirms.

I know that the idiom originates from the phrase, "the smallest worm will turn, being trodden on."
It means that the worm will turn ON its attacker, in the sense of counterattacking, fighting back. I don't think worms really do that. The whole phrase is a metaphor about people. Why a worm is used who knows.

The "computer virus has became" skill that there has been a metamorphosis or reversal in fortune. besides the undeniable fact that, I disagree with omit Shearer's account that throughout Shakespeare's time the computer virus observed a dragon, and so on. i think the "computer virus" in Shakespeare refers to a "computer virus kit." computer virus gears are a screw-type device (looks like a working laptop or computer virus) used to teach wheels and function been around for hundreds of years. whilst the computer virus is became, the wheel strikes. in many cases they are in simple terms referred to as a "computer virus." In Shakespeare's time, human beings believed that their lives have been ruled via Fortune which became depicted as a substantial wheel containing the Zodiac signs and indications--subsequently the expression the "wheel of Fortune." i think of whilst Shakespeare stated the computer virus has became, he became pertaining to the mechanism that turns the wheel of Fortune.
