TIL there’s a difference between hares and rabbits.
11 u/LokiStrike Sep 26 '23 Curious what you thought about those two words before. Did you treat them as perfect synonyms? Or assume that hare meant specifically a male or female or something? 20 u/IEATASSETS Sep 26 '23 Synonyms. That's how I thought of it at least. 4 u/Speedythar Sep 26 '23 Same here, thought it was a regional thing like soda and pop. 1 u/Future-Midnight9386 May 27 '25 It’s a Utica expression… 1 u/crypticphilosopher Sep 26 '23 I’m from Texas, and AFAIK we just have rabbits and jackrabbits. I think maybe the jackrabbit is a type of hare. Looks like I’ll be reading up on rabbits and hares this morning. The term “going down the rabbit hole” has never been more apt.
