NRP and NRF
Also: Non-Rumpish Persons · NRP · NRF · Non-Rumpish Felines · No Rump Factor
Non-Rumpish Persons, and the subset of Non-Rumpish Felines.
Non-Rumpish Persons (the more general term, for lesser beings than Rumpnillion Bastadons). NRFs are a subset, and refer to Non-Rumpish Felines and distinguish them as not having Rump Factors, or “No Rump Factor”, which is an informal use of the term.
The cats of Earth are NRFs. Only one of them has ever been given a Rump Factor, a true one, and an exception to the very meaning of the term: Mersenne Prime, with a score of 0.6.
William Herschel, who knew both kinds, drew the line plainly:
“Kitties may run from here to there, but of the Rumpish, beware!”
