Possible missing sense: dust bunnies

edit

John Camden Hotten's Slang Dictionary (1873) defines this term as "downy particles which accumulate under furniture from the negligence of housemaids", i.e. slut's wool or dust bunnies; but I am having trouble finding any uses in Google Books. Equinox 16:12, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
