Re: ESL with a linguistic question
(Anonymous) 2015-06-06 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)A stuffed toy is the very generic term for it. "Cuddly" and "soft" are descriptors, so a stuffed toy can be cuddly and soft...but then some people use cuddly or soft as a branding term to convey that a toy is soft enough for small children to enjoy. But it really has no meaning or significance in the long run. And sometimes the words are used in trademarks or brands, for that matter.
Plush/plushie among nerd circles tends to refer to a specific stuffed toy - a piece of merchandise from an anime or similar Japanese property, which carries over into things like Star Wars or Marvel comics now that they're on the bandwagon putting out stuffed toys of human characters and not just animals/objects. But you will still hear people in all walks of life refer to a stuffed toy as a plush toy if it's soft, or if it's branded/marketed as "plush," etc.
