"Dust bunny" không phải bụi của thỏ mà ý nói đến đống bụi bẩn bị tích tụ vì không được dọn dẹp.

Ví dụ
Or the way dust and dog hair can be counted on to gather in bundles (bó). My wife likes to call them “dust bunnies.” They most often form and congregate (tụ lại) under or behind large, heavy objects, like couches, desks and major appliances.

Today the bedroom, tomorrow the guest room, I thought to myself, planning my strategy for the week as I crawled around on the floor with a mop rag (giẻ lau) and a small vacuum cleaner (máy hút bụi nhỏ). I left no dust bunny at rest, no corner un-mopped (chưa được lau).

In our house the dust bunnies chase the dog. According to Chemist Christine in her Parentables post Why Your Kids' First Pet Should be a Dust Bunny, this might be a good thing, because of the "hygiene hypothesis." (giả thuyết vệ sinh) But new research confirms that dust bunnies can expose people to PBDE flame retardants (chất hãm bắt cháy) that Environmental Health Perspectives says may cause "decreased IQ and neurodevelopmental impairments (suy yếu sự phát triển thần kinh) in children and to fertility issues (vấn đề sinh sản) in adults."
