WHY...?

Why is the Boeing 727 referred to as "Fluffy"?

I'm posting it here because it might just be a South African thing.

I thought it was the B737- Fat Little Ugly Flying Fellow.

The "flying" could be substituted for something a little more expressive!

I agree also thought it was the 737... Same as above! :)

It is refered to th B737-200. Such short aircraft with such high tail. That earned it it's nick name...;)
