The name **Fuzzy Wuzzy** may be purely English in origin, or it may incorporate some sort of Arabic pun (possibly based on ghazi, "warrior"). It alludes to their butter-matted hair which gave them a "frizzy" look. This represents a rather weak attempt at humor on the part of British imperial troops, which had learned to respect the Hadendoa on the battlefield.

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
BEAR WAS FUZZY WUZZY
But Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair
So he wasn''t fuzzy, was he

(Optional fourth line:)

Was he bare?
