"Buppers"

John is like George W. Bush when it comes to nicknames. Almost everyone – human or animal – gets at least one nickname from John, if not 35. Recently he has started calling Hush “Buppers” with more emphasis on the first syllable. For some reason “Buppers” sounds like a very preppy, weekend in the Hamptons nickname to me. I suppose this could make sense – Hush is very demure and lady-like….maybe? :)
