bunnyhug

nounRegionalPrairies

A Canadian English slang term. Browse all Canadian slang.

What it means

  1. A hooded sweatshirt. Confined almost entirely to Saskatchewan, where it is the ordinary word and 'hoodie' sounds imported.

In use

  • Grab a bunnyhug, it'll cool off tonight.

  • Only in Saskatchewan do they call it a bunnyhug.

Where it comes from

Origin unknown, and locally something of a point of pride — it is among the most geographically restricted words in Canadian English, and Saskatchewanians are well aware of it.
