Well,... when something has been used for over 80 years to mean something, I think it’s safe to say most folks think of it in those terms.

I’m 66 years old now and I’ve never heard it used to describe a mighty hunter.

I may be the last guy not to know. I doubt it.

I knew a guy years ago,a hunter, that belonged to the Nimrod Club here in MA——I didn’t even know that there was a Bugs Bunny connection.
