1. Having a buoyant or self-confident air; brisk.
2. Crisp and dapper in appearance; natty.
3. Archaic
a. Stylish.
b. Genteel.
Jackalope — also called an antelabbit, aunt benny, “Rabbicorn”, Wyoming thistled hare or stagbunny — is an imaginary animal of folklore and a supposed cross between a jackrabbit and an antelope, goat, or deer, which is usually portrayed as a rabbit with antlers. The word jackalope and antelabbit are portmanteaus.
