A British childish or endearing term for a rabbit — the kind of word you'd use with a toddler or when you're being deliberately cute about someone's pet. The rhyming reduplication (bunny + wunny) is a classic feature of baby talk and affectionate speech in English, adding extra warmth and softness to an already gentle word. Adults use bunny-wunny either genuinely when talking to small children or ironically when teasing someone about their adorable pet. Either way, it's charming and impossible to say angrily.
