furry is a gerneric term for felines vulpines herps you name a species they all come under the term furry

Yiffy is harder to explain as it can have a couple meanings mostly its used to describe some one who is horny, but it can also mean excited (happy) as well as sexualy. To yiff is to have sex etc etc

Also the term Switch actulay is a bdsm term for some one who is niether top or bottom its means they can be both in a scene

and is the yiff code produced in the same way as the zoo code ? :please:

depends on what you mean Ilodo
the code is the same tpye of code and made at the same sight as the zoo code, if thats what you mean

I think you're looking for this:

Sadly there hasn't been made a generator for the zoo code yet, as far as I know. You have to do that by pure hard work, unless you know some :sorcerer: . Here's the link: Zoo code thingy

I hope this helps ;) :welcome:

<Here's a question that's probably stupid: What's the difference between a "yiffy" and a "furry", if anything? I thought they were synonymous, but I see them being used as separate terms in this thread, which leads me to believe they may be different from one another.>

Thats actually something that was fairly new to me until recently when I found that there were apparently a bunch of yiffy fem furs living only 4 miles from me for about 5 years. They called themselves yiffies. I found out about them from a person who found out about my interest in furry and apparently used to be freinds with them. Ironically enough they just happened to move away about a year before I found out they existed. ^.^

You can imagine how disapointed I was. :P

<I know how the word "yiff" originated, so if I were to take a guess, I'd think furries are more psychologically-oriented (fursonas, animal personalities, etc.) where yiffies are more sexually-oriented (fursuits with SPHes, etc.) as far as anthro fascination is concerned. Am I correct in this assumption?>

I would have to say so. The only difference in that veiw that I have is the assumption that "yiffies" are basically a slang term for a fur who gets into A LOT of yiffy stuff. There are many furs who got into furry for the sexual stuff, and then later turned face and made more movement toward spiritual and conceintious stuff(volunteering, religion, totem beleifs). I know this to be true because I am one such fur, but as to if I would call myself a yiffy, I dont think I could. As much as Im still interested in the yiffy aspects, my main interest is no longer porn, it has now become my pride in being a fur(yiff is only a bonus ^.^ ). Most furs I know dont even use the term, so from what I see, it really cant be anything other than slang. Of course, I could be wrong, but thats basically what ive noticed.

Yiff, from my understanding and being in one of the major furry hubs - aka sf bay - was, partly, pulled from from the {quote} cute {unquote} sound that foxes are supposed to make. That, and of course foxes in furrydom are very often typecast as the quasi "f me" types, running around wanting to ts aka cybersex. Often those are newbies to furry or those letting out their sexual energies through soomething that they find to be liberating, hence some people having huge wixxx lists. And then there are the people from furry that are called 'foxes' in rl - again normally because of a high drive or a high level of submission, or also the gay twink types. (read as 'fresh meat')

[But that's just from my observations of being in this region and exposed to it] ;)

That's pretty much it...

A zine is an online magazine that users post for free be it a yiffy one or not.

Hope that helps you.

good infromation. not a big fur person myself but good to know. Thanks the resource

mUCKS, mOOS and mUSHES will drive you nuts if you are not very computer savvy. Fortunately for those furballs there is always IRC..

There are at least two IRC servers currently serviing up your regular helping of furryness.

Link Removed - You need at least 100 posts before you are allowed to post links to other sites. This one I'm on regularly as my namesake.

Furnet DOES have a zoo channel that is active, with both furries and zoos. Very comfortable in the channel, reasonably clean chat. Folks wanna yiff, take it to the attic (or PM)!


Link Removed - You need at least 100 posts before you are allowed to post links to other sites. I've been on this one once or twice.. Pretty much the same folks on furnet, just launched another instance of their IRC chat client and connected to either one.


As for IRC chat clients, there is a wide variety of those out there. The biggie and most flexable of them is Link Removed - You need at least 100 posts before you are allowed to post links to other sites. This is a open-ended chat client designed to both be easy for the new user and flexable enough for the programmer. Meaning that a savvy programmer can turn MIRC into pretty much anything he wants to. From a simple barbot/greeter, to a complex channelbot that can almost single-handedly manage a channel.
MIRC is nagware.. 20 bucks to knock it off for the lifetime of the program. Cheap thrills and great brain candy..

:thinking:

what does adding website recommendations in the wrong category got to do with the explanation you supposedly set to answer concernings mucks and moos -and actually never did????

It's called drifting, my bad.. :<

hiya Legion.

i think a couple of those may have alternate meanings i read the thread (or skimmed through it rather) and didnt see any alternate meanings posted.



Machinist = just wondering, did you mean Sado-Masochist (S&M) ?
Switch = Can be either Top or Bottom in the sex.
Trainable = Willing to be a bondage puppy.
Magical = could also mean the fur has the ability to change species, gender, height, use magic to trap the other fur, create tentacles out of vines etc. it has a wide variety of meantings.
Transforming = Can switch species and/size and genders!
Mastering = hehe the fur could be bragging say he's mastered the art of roleplaying :P

If this is no longer needed or whatever, lemme know and I'll trash this post. No sense wasting space, right?

Having briefly skimmed the thread, I'm assuming that the SEXUAL definitions are being requested for these terms. What I've read, so far, is mostly correct. For the most part, things were already stated correctly. The ones that were flipped and changed a lot are explained (to my knowledge) below. Here's my input:

"Mastering," as far as I know, is where you are another fur's "master," and they're your pet. I've never seen that particular term used before. "Ownership" is usually the tag for something of that sort. It means that one fur owns another like a pet or slave. I'm not ENTIRELY certain but, that seems to be what is meant.

A "switch" is actually a fur who SWITCHES between dom and sub. Without going into specifics, let me say I have some experience in this department. As far as I know, it's a normal, "real life" term. Regardless, such is not MY style. I'm on top. Always. ;)

"Magical" means they are a magic-user or a magical being. The "Magic" in question usually centers on causing pleasure/pain as the user sees fit for the purposes of causing themselves or others to become sexually stimulated. "Tentacle" would mean that they enjoy the tentacle sex and stuff of the sort but, depending on the individual, it my be considered to be a part of the "Magical" tag.

As far as "Electrical" goes, this could be as simple as "shock my balls 'cause the jolt through my nerves causes me pleasure/pain" or it could be one of the new fads in the furry fandom. Elementalism. This is where a fur picks an element to correpsond to their personality/character and has traits related to it. Like Pokemon only with furries. It could also mean they USE these elements. I'm not 100% certain on this as it's so varied, from all the sources I use (namely, personal experience, rp-ing with other furries).

"Machinist" is someone who makes/uses devices/machines to get themselves/others off. or, the simple, "real life" term that's a person who makes/uses machines.

I guess the only real certainty that there is for terms like these belongs with the terms that have roots in "real life" words. For the most part, though, it truly does depend on the individual and THEIR interpretation of the words/phrases. One good example is the "feral." In my mind, "Feral" would a be a fur with human intelligence reverting to an animallike mentality and state of awareness and says to me "treat this fur as an animal." To many others, though, it means "This character is not a furry but is the standard-issue, four-legged fox/cat/wolf/bear/dog/etc.." Short answer: in the furry fandom, nothing's set in stone. I predict a time in the near future when "zoo" means "put me on display in a cage" instead of "I'd prefer sex with an animal, thank you" in the world of furries.

I hope this helped you all, somehow.
