What a fun word

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I love your username. It’s both the name of a starship maneuver, and of adjusting a Starfleet uniform 😁

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thank you! I picked the uniform adjustment for my profile pic.

I get confused every time I see the word "chuffed" because i have no idea if becoming chuffed is a good or bad thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

So you're chuffed about it?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Chuffed is slang for very pleased in the UK. More specifically it's when something good has just happened to you that's causing you to grin uncontrollably like a lunatic.

As my crude father would say: "I'm chuffed to buggery!"

Although buggery is a bad thing on its own, when combined with chuffed it's like a +1 enchantment instead.

Especially when someone gets "chuffed to bits"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

"Chuff" in the context of rock climbing = bad, made an effort but didn't get very far / fell a lot

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I have the same reaction to nonplussed

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's the most negative-sounding positive word, isn't it?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

A very British trait.

Up the chuff = good, down the chuff = bad

It's mostly delighted or pleased, although it can occasionally mean the opposite, especially in the military. I believe it started off as "proud." This bunny is delighted and proud of his new rug.

I'm amazed he knows how to use a litterbox and not just poop everywhere. That's probably how he earned his nice rug!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Apparently it's a thing you can train them to do with a bit of effort. You cna train some birds too.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Satisfied. Smug but not in a negative way.

That bunny has a better living space than I did all through college.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

That bunny is my manager now. He drives a nicer car than I do.

They have a mat, on a mat, on a carpet...

This is why I suck at interior design. It all seems so asinine to me.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean at the risk of being "whooshed"

The rug is to prevent staining the carpet, and if I was them I would actually have a plastic layer between the rug/carpet.

The hay mat is going to be MONCHED.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If it were contained in some way, that would make sense to me, but it's free to roam as far as I can see. As for the hay mat, that still seems strange to me, but fair enough.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I've got a couple guinea pigs. one assumes the tarp is the limit of his territory, whether or not there's fencing.

the other one regularly goes wandering, but respects the areas I've said are off limits. and she knows she has to get back to her territory - the tarp - to get any treats.

so it's entirely possible this bunny recognizes his "room", as defined by the new rug.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So he looks litter trained based on the box, so my "guess" is it's to help keep any related stains to this carpet, same you don't wanna put you litter box on a carpet for a cat, also if all his toys/food are on the rug, he'll probably stay on the rug most of the time.

Just a guess though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

TIL you can litter train a bunny, really wish I knew that growing up since my family had a pet bunny when I was young and had to constantly clean up after it. I was wondering how anyone could do this with a bunny shitting all over the house.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was going to say "Oh you can potty train any mammal!"

Then I remembered Pandas exist... sooo I'll just say "Most mammals have had examples of them being potty trained"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

What?

You can train a panda king fu,

but you can't train it to poo?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

The hay mat is for eating/playing.

I bet he's the best Bunnies and Burrows GM and his surname is something bun-punny resembling Mercer 😉
