The origin of this word is a Celtic bun "stump, bottom" which was extended to the tail of a bunny, then to their entire rear ends (at which point squirrel's bottoms were included) and, finally, to the entire rabbit. In the meantime, it was borrowed by French, who returned it as bugne "boil, swelling", which gave us "bun" in the culinary sense (and bunion). The use of "buns" to refer to human bottoms, amazingly enough, comes from this sense and not from the more obvious bunny bottoms.
Bunny bun buns!

it somewhat is an extremely sturdy rationalization. :) i like it! i'm especially anal nonetheless, so i ought to declare that a youthful rabbit (under 6 months previous) is observed as a bunny and a toddler rabbit (delivery to eight weeks) is observed as a equipment. "Bunny" is a real term for youthful rabbits under 6 months of age yet is likewise time-honored as a "puppy call" or used with affection for grownup rabbits. i such as you. :) lol.
