Cute Overload is a weblog consisting of photos and videos of "Cute" animals. The site, created by Megan Frost, won the Webby Awards 2006 "People's Voice" honors in the blog category. [1] [2]

The website has created "rules of cuteness" such as "Rule #18: Have a teeny tiny tail" or "Rule of Cuteness #7: A thing, accompanied by a smaller version of that thing, is always cute."

Cute Overload has also developed its own "cutecabulary":

  • tie-tie: tired
  • honk shu: snoring
  • snorgle: snuggle, often involving pressing one's nose into another (word is a combination of snort and snuggle)
  • pawsitude: the act of flashing the pads of one's paws
  • 'tocks: buttocks
  • redonk/redoink: ridiculous
  • muzzlepuff/muzzlepouche: muzzle/nose
  • baroo?: "what?"
  • kronsche!: "crunch!"
