bunny hug

Saskatchewan hooded sweatshirt

A bunny hug is a warm, affectionate embrace—the kind you might give a child or loved one.

In Canadian English, particularly in Saskatchewan, bunny hug is the regional term for a hooded sweatshirt: I threw on my bunny hug and headed out.

The Saskatchewan usage puzzles other Canadians and Americans, who call the garment a hoodie.
