Bugs was a pretty unique cartoon for his time. Not always what would be
considered "politically correct" today. He wasn't always the "aggressor"
in the cartoons. Most of the time it was Elmer Fudd, the great hunter,
that brought on the issue, but over time he had many adversaries. Bugs
spoke with a definite brooklynesque accent. Quite often he would be
leading his protagonist on a wild chase and then you would see him
standing there munching a carrot and he would say "What a MAroon" as he
watched. From the context it was obvious that he was saying the other
character was a moron. Out of context it doesn't make much sense unless
you grew up with Bugs. They weren't just for kids either. I still like
to watch the original, unedited, versions. Most of the old ones have
been edited to make them more politically correct for the times.
Archive.org has a fair collection of the oldies but goodies.

As a US speaker, I apologize. OTOH, some of the other languages also lose in
the translation to English and we don't always get it either. Its a wash on
balance, and since I don't speak enough of any other language to claim I do,
I always tip my hat to those that make the effort to speak my language.
Thank you all.

He was just quoting Yosemite Sam, a charactor in a Bugs bunny cartoon.

Thanks, I needed the reality check. I turned 60 last week and got cold
shivers thinking that one would have to be so aged as to know what I was
referring to. My Anti-Peril Sunglasses darkened up completely. We'll see
who knows what I'm talking about now!

Hint: "Thanks for all the fish!" Ric
