1. 1

    Bunny is a soft, cute word for a rabbit, used a lot by children, to children, in picture books, and when adults want to sound gentle. A stuffed toy is often a bunny. Adults talking in a plain way usually say rabbit. Children also say bunny rabbit, which names the same animal twice, the way small children like to. Though actually, English used to have another rhyme, cony, for this animal; bunny and rabbit have mostly taken its place. This entry is the children's animal word, not other slang uses of bunny you may meet later.
