Stuffed animals are stuffed with different materials than most Beanies (which, by definition, are usually filled with beans). "Beanie babies" is quite a common name for these in the U.S., at least around here (Newton, MA). My sister and her friends have quite a few "beanie babies", and I was just at a toy store the other day that carried them under that name. -Shiri XFUT o-t.fun

(...) I think Larry meant "stuffed animal" as opposed to "plush toy." :) That is how I read it, at least... Jeff "Plushie!" (23 years ago, 21-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) This must be a UKism, as we don't use that phrase much. Beanie Babies are "stuffed animals" I think. Of course, stuffed doesn't carry quite the negative connotation in the US. ++Lar (23 years ago, 21-Apr-01, to lugnet.mediawatch)
