    fuzzy

    :wojak-nooo: "Impossible, real women have absolutely no hair besides upper head"


    Is there a specific english word for the thin hair covering everything different from hair?

    In spanish we have "cabello" for the thick hair in the upper head, "pelo" for the thick hair everywhere else (beard, chest, crotch, etc), and "vello" for the very thin hair covering the rest, usually absent in places of high friction.

        Heh, vellus, of course. Yeah I knew it as peach fuzz but didn't seem like a proper term

      G*mers used to have this weird debate about a woman with peach fuzz on her cheeks in some artwork and my first thought was "well if you don't want that, you need to find a woman who's spent a couple years undergoing hair electrolysis. Which will most likely be a trans woman."
