    I didn’t recognize one of the terms, and wow… try looking it up. That’s pretty blatant. No wonder that’s not used much.

      Which one was that?

      Tap for spoiler

      They’re all characters from Warner Bros. Loony Toons cartoons, which date from possibly the 1930s. I grew up with them so maybe have not noticed if there are any problematic names

        I grew up watching a bunch of Looney Tunes and got the theme pretty quickly, but I’d never heard of Foxy. I was shocked how much of a Mickey Mouse ripoff it appeared to be (and as I’m now finding, close enough that Walt Disney himself stepped in to ask them to stop).

          I didn’t know this one either. I thought it would be a non-theme word. I didn’t look it up though because I was thinking it was the wolf that goes crazy over the girls. I watched some of the actual thing though, and it’s very old school Mickey Mouse!
