When I was a kid, we used an expression, “shooting a bunny” if anyone broke wind. I’m not quite sure where that expression comes from but my youngest brother still says it!
Well, so far I haven’t had the heart to shoot the bunnies and this is one of the reasons why.
They are kind of cute!

Waddya mean ‘my younger brother’ says it??? All the kids say it!
Hahaha – I thought it was only Mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I couldn’t bear to shoot a bunny, but my younger brother and Father had done so many times in the past. They’re just too darn cute.
I daresay I would learn how to do it if I owned a farm and they were eating all the crops or veggie garden.
They’re adorable, Julie, and I don’t care if they ate everything, I couldn’t bring myself to shoot them. I’ve had three fawns here this summer, and they’ve eaten virtually ALL my flower bulbs (nearly 600 of them), but they’re so adorable that I can’t stay mad for very long….
“Shooting a bunny” is said for the same reason here… “pay rent or get out” the other one… shame the poor bunnies…
Julie, what a wonderful picture, and because of it I understand your reluctance. I hope for you it doesn’t come to that. Take care, Bill
Awww!
I have never heard that expression,,,must be an Aussie thing. Cute bunnies.
Your bunny is looking remarkably well fed. Fawns eating the bulbs, sigh. You need a dog!.. Have a lovely day.. c
Too cute for shooting. And he/she appears to get alone with the neighbors. 🙂
hahahaha
I’ve never heard that expression either. As for the bunnies in your yard, I couldn’t shoot them either. As I write this I have a squirrel exploring my dining room!
they are adorable!
That’s an interesting expression. Wonderbutt shoots bunnies on a regular basis.
I bet he does!
We still use the expression…it is so much more civilised than the cruder flatulating sayings!
Shooting bunnies?! How can anyone shoot anything called a “bunnie”?
i always think of thumper! growing up in the south many people killed and ate bunnies. from the time i was young and had seen bambi i would let anyone know that i was not eating thumper! i still am a sucker for those cute little guys:)
Not so cute when you’re overrun. They breed at an exponential rate!!
Our family would say “shooting rabbits” or “shot a rabbit” but likewise, I don’t know why.
