Where does the word binky come from?

The word "binky" for a rabbit's happy jump originated in the 1990s. Its exact origins are debated, with several theories: * **Onomatopoeia:** The word may be derived from the sound the jump makes. * **Imitation:** Rabbit owners might have mimicked the sound of their bunny's feet hitting the ground. * **From "bunny" + "inky":** This combines the animal with a reference to its movement, as "inky" can describe something moving quickly. Regardless of its exact origin, "binky" has become widely adopted to describe this joyous rabbit behavior.
