Bunny hug

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Bunny Hug is a term used in certain regions of Canada, specifically Saskatchewan, to refer to a type of clothing item known as a hoodie or hooded sweatshirt. The term is believed to have originated from the name of a popular dance in the early 20th century, the Bunny Hug dance, which was characterized by its close embrace - similar to the snug, comfortable fit of the clothing item.

Origin and Usage[edit | edit source]

The term "bunny hug" is unique to Saskatchewan and is not widely used or recognized in other parts of Canada or the world. It is believed to have been adopted due to the popularity of the Bunny Hug dance in the early 1900s, which was known for its close, hugging-like movements. The term was then applied to the hooded sweatshirt due to its snug, comfortable fit, similar to a hug.

The bunny hug is a common clothing item in Saskatchewan, particularly among young people and students. It is often worn as casual wear or sportswear, and is frequently adorned with the logos of local sports teams, such as the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League.

Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]

The bunny hug has become a symbol of Saskatchewan culture and identity. It is often used as a marker of local pride and community, with many Saskatchewan residents considering it a staple of their wardrobe. The term is also frequently used in local media and advertising, further cementing its place in Saskatchewan culture.

Despite its regional popularity, the term "bunny hug" is often met with confusion or amusement by those outside of Saskatchewan, who typically refer to the clothing item as a hoodie or hooded sweatshirt.
