4	"Cute" is a strange word. On one hand, you have "cute" as in [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Fluffy Bunnies]]. On the other hand, you have "cute" as in {{Playboy Bunn\|y}}ies. And in the [[Literature/TheMoteInGodsEye gripping hand]], you have yiff.

6	In a nutshell, yiff is furry porn.

8	[[LiesDamnedLiesAndStatistics About 99%]] is produced by the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom, who invented the word (which makes sense). [[http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/WikiFur_Furry_Central WikiFur]] seems pretty confident that some furry fan named Foxen invented the word, as part of a language called [[http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Foxish Foxish.]]

10	Foxish was an [[ConLang entire made-up language]] consisting of a grand total of nine words used for fantasy role-playing foxes. Yiff had the original meaning of [[NewSpeak doubleplusgood]], apparently. The word comes from the [[WrittenSoundEffect onomatopoetic rendering of the sound that a happy fox makes]]. The word became a [[{{Flanderization}} catch-all for sex acts in the furry fandom]] somewhere along the line, though it also became a classification of artwork used to specifically refer to any artwork of both an [[AnimalTropes anthropomorphic]] and adult nature.

12	It should also be noted that while cartoon porn is considered a fetish known as ''schediaphilia'', there is currently no distinction between [[{{Hentai}} more common cartoon porn fare]] and yiff art within fetish classifications.

14	Note that the actual term ''yiff'' is largely a DiscreditedMeme at this point; it might occasionally be used in private conversations, but expect to get laughed or derided out of the virtual room (by furries, no less, which is saying something) if you use it in a serious -- or sexual -- context.
