I fail to understand why, in the middle of budget season, when they've started to cast a baleful eye on persons in the finance department who dare to go out for lunch, they nonetheless find it appropriate to block out two hours in the middle of the day for a holiday party. Not that I wish to complain about other people offering to feed me. I'm just hoping to see the surface of my desk at some point before I leave today, and if I have to sit around and listen to the VPs talk about football for two hours, I doubt that's going to be possible.

That was easy.

hey, the Latin one could have been a lot worse. The usual word for rabbit is cuniculus, which is also the familiar/diminuative form of cunnus. Which means... well, about what it looks like it might mean.

Hrm.

But then you've got the 'yellow' bit to deal with, and I somehow doubt that our Saff is blonde in that bit...

Luteucuniculus. Luteus can mean either yellow or gray (see #30). The unfortunate side effect of all this being that this would translate at best as "Yellow Rabbit." At worst, "Dirty little cunnus."
