What is A Fluffy Bunny REALLY?

 

What a picturesque image … A cute little bunny, all white fur and fluffy as can be…

“Fluffy Bunny” is a word of many definitions, these are the 2 most common:

Some say a FB is a cute, young newbie, prancing about the local Pagan events bathed in white light. Someone naïve and overly positive, who thinks the whole world is filled with cute lil’ bunnies and no wolves; pagan who bursts with glee at being pagan and irritates the rest of us with it.

 Others say a Fluffy Bunny is the stubborn pagan who thinks he has all the answers and everyone else is stupid; he kind of guy who never backs down from an argument and is always right.

 Fluffy Bunny can mean anything now though. Especially online in forums and chatrooms, this silly phrase has become the catch-all favourite insult of pagans.

Let’s all fess up; a “fluffy bunny” is whoever pissed you off last.

Modern Paganism must be doing pretty well; it’s gotten big enough that we are developing not only our own slang, but our own slang insults.

Really folks, why couldn’t we just call someone an “ass” instead? “Fluffy Bunny” sounds so stupid, and do we really need to be using it at all? There are plenty of nasty words we can sling at each other when we fail to disagree on some silly point. Ones with punch and pizzaz and only two syllables, like “bastard” or “stupid”, MUCH better than referring to a hoppy little rabbit.

I mean think about it, why on earth are we using such a stupid phrase, are not most of us poets? Come on people, act your age and just call the next person you get into a dispute with a “jerk-face” instead. It’s more honest and less slandering eh.

(Everyone here understands sarcasm right?)
