Ok, here's the deal: I'm kinda new to this whole furry thing.  I have to say that you here at fChan have been a great help to me discovering that I am definately a furry.  Thanks a lot, fChan! <3 <3 <3

The small problem is that I am not understanding all of your words.  Would anyone like to give me a crash course on furry jargon?

More specifically, which are anthro furries, which are non-anthro?

Anthro = two-legs, hands, etc.
Non-anthro = Basically an animal with human intellect.

Anthro is short for anthropomorphic, which is what furries are.  A non-anthro is just an animal, which isn't a furry.

Okay.. so much confusion with that.

Some people say "non-anthro" walks on four legs but acts like a human.. Others say it us only an animal. Those people tend to use the term "non-morphic," to describe the talk-cartoon people that look completely like animals, but aren't (the kind we allow in /toon).

It's really a lost cause trying to pin down all the terms, because everyone uses them differently. There isn't a furry slang handbook, so there are times you will have to clarify with people what they are talking about before drawing conclusions about them or the topic at hand.

Just remember what happens when you assume. ;3

Ok, Acctually, I have one more question.

What do you call the human people with animal ears, tails, teeth, etc, but they have no fur?

(could you really call them furry without fur?)

In anime they'd be called nekomimi (for catgirls, foxgirls, etc.) or something like that.

^^ Thanks once again!
Are there any other words that I should know?
There's probably some new verbs, right?
(It took me a while to understand 'yiff')

There's moar.  Say moar when you want moar.

sauce comes from the 4chan comunitie and should never be used on fchan.

also, spell fchan with lowercase, you look ridicules.

also, 'tailhole' = ass and 'pawing off' = jerking off.
just say ass and jerking.

Here's hoping that covers just about everything.

>>13 "sauce comes from the 4chan comunitie and should never be used on fchan."

Nonsense.  They don't have a copyright for that term.  Use it if you wish, but don't be surprised to hear people like this guy accusing you of being from one of the other chans.  Also, I say Fchan frequently and I see nothing wrong with doing so.

nekomini refers specifically to catgirls. "Neko mini" literally means "cat ears" ("cat girl" would be "neko musume").

kemonomimi is preferred when refering to girls with animal ears in general, because it is not species specific. It literally means "beast ears".

Also:
usamimi - bunny girl
inumimi - dog girl
kitsunemimi - fox girl
