"So what's a tree hugger?" I asked my husband after he sent me the below picture with the comment 'obviously not all tree huggers should be shot then.'
I honestly didn't know. I wondered if it was some kind of revived hippy style movement dedicated to forest life living off nature, vegetarians naturally and with very liberal sexual morals. Naturally.
He told me it was a slang synonym for environmentalist types, pains in the arse always out in force whenever a new development's about to get started. Except when it's bloody windmills of course, then you won't see them protesting. I remembered then, I had heard the expression before, my husband has a way with words.
"So you don't like them then, P. And what about the girl in the picture, is she a tree hugger? And where did you find her anyway, were you researching tree huggers?"
"No I wasn't and yes, she clearly is hugging a tree and therefore she is a tree hugger. But not that type of tree hugger.
I thought about it, I could see the connection. Still don't where he found the girl though. But I like the picture so I'm sharing it.
Have a fun weekend.
