Ally Mcbeal

[philandlil]

In series six Eliza bump (Christina Ricci) keeps saying that John Cage looks like a Stuffy, what is a Stuffy?

[Fibonacci]

never seen the show but i guess it means a studious uptight kind of individual
as stuffy can mean Dull and boring

I don't think thats it she generally grabs his face and says something like aww isn't he cute, he looks like a little stuffy.

Once in the hole, John says that what he was doing was "very benign peeping." Heather asks if he "live[s] inside the walls." Miss Bump, once again overwhelmed by the cuteness of John, grabs his face and calls him "a cute little stuffy," and "the best little lawyer.  Yes he is! Yes he is! A wubba-wubba-wubba-woo! A wubba-woo!"

I think she just meant that he was cute, but a little straight-laced and sensible, perhaps even shy.

[Octavius]

In the above context of baby-talk, she means he is like a teddy bear?

[Guinevere]

stuffy as in stuffed animal? ie teddy?

[Ouisch]

Sounds like she means a stuffed animal, or plush toy.
