fuzzies
Tiny fabric bits
Fuzzies are warm, pleasant feelings of comfort or affection.
The word usually appears in warm fuzzies—the emotional glow from kindness, nostalgia, or connection: Seeing old photos gives me the warm fuzzies.
The opposite, cold pricklies, describes negative or uncomfortable feelings.
Fuzzies can also mean fuzzy objects, like stuffed animals or lint balls.
