antagonizing characters. He has a
speech sound disorder that makes
his tongue slur.[1] This usually
results in him replacing his Rs with
Ws, so "Watch the road, Rabbit," is
replaced with "Watch the woad,
wabbit!" Elmer's signature
catchphrase is, "Be vewy vewy
quiet, I'm hunting wabbits", as well
as his trademark laughter, "huh-uhuh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh".
Sylvester

In some countries Sylvester (or
Silvester) is the name used to
refer to December 31st (New

Latin adjective silvestris meaning
"wooded" or "wild", which
derives from the noun silva
meaning "woodland". Classical
Latin spells this with i. In
Classical Latin y represented a
separate sound distinct from i,
not a native Latin sound but one
used in transcriptions of foreign
words. After the Classical period
y came to be pronounced as i.
