Fuzzy-Wuzzy (a poem by English author and poet Rudyard in 1892) refers to the Hadenoda warriors who fought the British army in North Africa and the respect of the ordinary British soldier toward them. The name "Fuzzy-Wuzzy" could be entirely English in origin, or it could combine some sort of Arabic pun (by chance based on ghazī, "warrior"). It refers to their butter-matted hair that gave them a unique "fuzzy" look.

If 'Fuzzy Wuzzy' was a bear and 'Fuzzy Wuzzy' had no hair then 'Fuzzy Wuzzy' wasn't very fuzzy was he?

'Fuzzy Wuzzy' originated from the British wars in the Sudan in 1894-1895. The Hadendowah warriors of the Mahdist army had distinctive looking hairstyles somewhat reminiscent of today's "afro". The Hadendowah warriors were savagely fierce fighters. In two separate battles they managed to break British defensive squares. In a tribute to their fighting prowess, the famous English poet Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem about them. The nursery rhyme (not written by Kipling) alludes to the fact that the warriors had this distinctive hair style and were "bears" e.g. tough, fierce, etc. on the battlefield. The nursery rhyme may also allude to the fact that between the first and second Red Sea campaigns of the first Sudan War, the Mahdi decreed that the "fuzzy" hairstyle was not Islamic. After that the Hadendowah warriors shaved their heads - making them not fuzzy after all.
