NOTE: Majority of these definitions are NOT from actual furries, take it from a real one.
Unlike the pictures suggest, a furry is NOT BY ANY MEANS a person who dresses as an animal. Despite the fact that some furries do enjoy that, it is NOT the definition. A person who dresses as an animal, is a gigolo (pronounced ji-gill-oh).
A furry, on the other hand is a person who finds anthropomorphic animals (meaning they walk, talk, think, act, and have personalities like a human) appealing, often but not always sexually.
*Other misconceptions*
- not all furries like yiff, and the 2 CANNOT be considered the same, or even similar
- being a furry does NOT mean wanting to have sex with the characters, although some do, it is NOT a requirement
Examples of furry Characters:
-Minerva Mink
-Sheila Vixen
-Amy the Squirrel

Non-furry: "Why do you have pictures of Minerva Mink on your PC?"
Furry: "Oh... heheh, I'm kind of what you call a furry..."
Non-furry: "....I don't get it at all but whatever..."
Furyy: "Hey dude, furry pride for the win!"

n, adj.
adjective: to be furry
noun: A fandom in which many people partake in activities such as creating OCs(original characters), fursuiting, and creating art. A furry is by the most common definition, an anthropomorhic animal, or someone who is a fan of anthropomorphic animals
Some furries even go as far as saying you need to partake in fursuiting or making art to be a furry, but every furry will have different opinions.
Most people who hate furries are often people who have not been exposed to the entire fandom yet. Most furry haters will stereotype them as animal-fuckers.
The most common furries are the ones that will view the art and the ones who create the art.
The second most common type of furries are the ones who make art.
Fursuiters are furries who dress up in fursuits depicting anthropomorphic animals. Fursuiters most often go to furry conventions and make animal noises, hug people, and sell merch.
yiff
noun
Pornography featuring, but not limited to, anthros.
yiff
acronym
Young Incredibly Fuckable Furry
Not limited to young. In fact, most characters in yiff are over the age of 18.
A yiffer is someone who views or creates furry porn, basically.
That wraps it up! Hopefully, those who read this that are(n't)furries learned something from it.

Guy 1: Dude wanna go watch a movie tonight?

Ένα furry είναι ένας φανταστικός χαρακτήρας ζώου που έχει ανθρώπινα χαρακτηριστικά, όπως να περπάει στα δύο πόδια ή να μιλάει.
Τα άτομα που τους αρέσουν τα έργα τέχνης τα οποία απεικονίζουν ανθρωπόμορφα ζώα (furries) ονομάζονται επίσης furries, και μαζί φτιάχνουν το furry fandom. Μια άλλη λέξη για τα furries είναι η λέξη "ανθρωπόμορφα".

παράδειγμα: Θες να δεις τον καινούριο χαρακτήρα furry που σχεδίασα; Είναι ένας αρσενικός λύκος και τον ονόμασα Neo.
