I found out about fursuits when I was trying to come up with a skit for trying out to be my college mascot.

Sometime when I was in 8th or 9th grade, I was telling someone in IRC about how I see myself in my mind vs how I actually look as well as my obsession for "animal characters" like Robin Hood and such and they were like

"Oh. You're a furry!"

"What's that?"

"Someone who likes anthropomorphic animals."

"Anthropowhat?"

"It means 'like human.' When you make a fox talk or a dog that has a human body."

"So if I want to see Robin Hood banging Little John I can search for 'furry porn?'"

"...I mean, I guess."
