It's called a BunnyHug and always will be!!!

I was just on Facebook and found a group that I almost decided to joing, but I am feeling a little cautious still about the site. Anyway, the description of the group was too good to pass up sharing. FOr anoy Facebookers out there, you can link here.
The group is called "It's called a BunnyHug and always will be!!!" (Totally Random - Just for Fun)
"This group is for everyone from or still in Saskatchewan who has to deal with the criticism everytime they use the word bunnyhug. It's not a hoodie, a kangaroo pouch or a hooded sweatshirt and we will never stoop to your level just to avoid seeing the dumbfounded look on your faces.
Also don't try and tell us that Bunnyhug is our word for Hoodie, it's the other way around as the term Bunnyhug has been around forever.... well longer than hoodie... (if you don't count hoodies refernce to condoms in the 1930's...)Finally don't make us explain why it's called a bunnyhug, however if an explanation needed to shut the person up:
According to encyclopedia on dictionary.com:
term: Bunnyhug
origin: Saskatchewan
It is a term refering to an article of clothing that has a full torso covering, long sleeves, a hood and a pouch located at waist level, with an opening on both the left and right sides. This particular piece of clothing must be pulled over the head because there is no zipper. You will find yourself so warm and comfortable, it would be like a bunny was hugging you. Hence, the term: bunnyhug. (2007)
From urban dictionary:
Bunnyhug
A hooded sweatshirt with a pocket across the belly. Known to Saskatchewanians
No one but Prarie people in Canada know what this word means.
examples for use in a sentance.
It's chilly, grab your bunnyhug and put it on.
She pulled on her bunnyhug because she was cold."
And yes, I did gro up in Saskatchewan and this totally made me laugh.
