Don't forget toads (such as the spade foot toad) that are not part of Bufonidae.

Toad is just a term people use for frogs that are toad-y, a social construct, not a real thing.

A social construct? I might be a toad, as described by Auguste Comte in Aspects of toad positivism

Anyway, thanks for the useful addendum.
