Environmental Activist Slang Source

[matt159]

I'm still chuckling about the last tree hugger reference I saw in a thread. "Stick Fairies" may be my new personal favorite. I'm not terribly creative and I'm sure it would help others to have a thread with a collection of our personal favorites so we can change our colorful reference to the Biodiversity Conservation Activists to suit our mood. Help me out! A few to start:

Stick Fairies
Tree Huggers
Leaf Lickers

 

[Arctic Thunder]

Dandelion sniffers
Granolas
Greenies

 

[MORSNO]

Fern Feelers
Bunny Huggers
Enviro Nazis
Trust Fund Babies
Girdwoodiens

Biodiversity Conservation Activists

I think you'd definately want to use the term "Preservation" instead of "Conservation". Big difference in that one.

Anyway...back to the fun...


salad shooters
pole benders (XC skiers)
fun police

Agreed.... but I was just modifying BCA's name: Biodiversity Conservation Alliance... Activists (or extremists) seems to fit better than "Alliance."

To quote a Wyoming business operator from a few years back, "When the leaf lickers come to town they bring 2 things: a $20 bill & an extra pair of underwear. And they typically don't change either one all weekend."
