Literary notes about fuzzy (AI summary)
The term “fuzzy” in literature serves a remarkable dual purpose. On one level, it vividly describes physical textures and appearances—from the soft, downy hairs of a creature or toy ([1], [2]) to the distinctive identifiers in character names like Fuzzy Wuzzy or Fuzzy White ([3], [4]). On another level, “fuzzy” is employed metaphorically to evoke states of vagueness or mental muddle, as when clarity in a visual or cognitive sense is juxtaposed against fuzziness ([5], [6]). This interplay—using a tactile, concrete adjective to also suggest abstract imprecision—adds layers of meaning and playful nuance to the narrative landscape.
