Interesting thing about misunderstanding Mr. Bunny -- people of my generation grew up thinking that "nimrod" is an insult because he called Mr. Fudd "poor little nimrod" (and partly because it sounds like one).
But (at the risk of telling folks things they already know) "
Nimrod" is the name of a Old Testament Biblical character, a hunter of renown.
Funny how we misapprehend things and they stick, isn't it?
