'''Popufur''' is a [[furspeech]] term that means a popular person (normally a [[furry artist]]), within the [[furry fandom]]. It is a [[Wikipedia:Portmanteau|portmanteau]] of the words [[Wikipedia:Popularity|popular]] and [[furry]].

It is sometimes used in a negative or derogatory connotation, in which case a "popufur" is implied to be one who is rich, famous, adored and/or otherwise notable in the fandom (often successful solely because of the fandom), but acts superior or indifferent to other members of the fandom (including their [[Furry fan|fans]]), sometimes even dismissive or derisive of the fandom as a whole.

The origin of the term can be traced back to the [[Furry Night Live]] Skit entitled "Popufur" at FurtherConfusion 2009[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD6zvIRHFII]. The satirical skit was a parody of the song "Popular" from Wicked the musical[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_%28musical%29], and took first place in the FNL maquerade that year. It was written by [[Jil]] and [[Sophie Cabra]], and originally preformed by [[Sophie Cabra]] and [[Raspberry Roo]]. <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD6zvIRHFII ''Original Performance of "Popufur" on YouTube''] from FurtherConfusion FNL, 2009 (Retrieved April 16, 2013)</ref><ref>[http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/90113-RANT-Popufur-Commission-Prices ''RANT: Popufur Commision Prices''] post on the [[FurAffinity]] forums (Retrieved January 6, 2013)</ref><ref>[http://www.sofurry.com/view/300642 ''My opinion of a popufur''] on [[SoFurry]] (Retrieved january 6, 2012)</ref><ref>[http://www.askpapabear.com/1/post/2012/12/furry-worries-that-resentful-popufur-will-trash-reputation.html ''Furry Worries That Resentful Popufur Will Trash Reputation''] post on [[Ask Papabear]] (Retrieved January 6, 2013)</ref>
