A furrie code is a string of gibberish that other people decipher to know about someone's furrie habits.
Here is my furrie code:
FCF[Fennec Fox %5BVulpes Zerda%5D]3adrw A C- D+ H M- P++++ R++ T? W Z Sm- RLCT a cdlnuw++$ d--- e+ f- h+ iwf+ j p* sm-
To understand what this means, copy and paste the above text into someone's "furry decoder" website. Go to any search engine and search for "furry decoder". [Note: I realize that most people spell it f-u-r-r-y, but I spell it f-u-r-r-i-e because it makes the word sound more like a noun that an adjective.]
For your convenience, here is the decoded message:
