binkies

Infant sucking comforts

Binkies has two distinct meanings.

A binky is a baby's pacifier—a brand name that became generic: The baby dropped her binky.

Separately, binkies are the joyful leaps rabbits make when excited, twisting and kicking in midair: My rabbit does binkies every morning when I let her out.
