1) it bothers me that the USA is never in the same place on internet drop-down lists. i can never find my damn country. sometimes we're at the top b/c we use the internet so often and have so much money. sometimes we're alphabetized under "U." Sometimes under "A." at the website for south african airlines, we're listed as "United States" but

is there a difference between a wolfman and a werewolf?

Werewolf is the generic term, and a wolfman is a specific type of werewolf, namely one which retains human size, plantigrade posture, and a short muzzle. Basically, a wolfman is when the transformation consists of no change except lots of hair, clawed hands, and a mask. Lon Chaney Jr. in The Wolf Man is the classic example.

though you are probably right that there is a racial aspect to the animal prints on ethnic ladies thing... those colors also LOOK BETTER on people with darker skin. i don't wear animal prints for several reasons but the biggy is that i look horrid in browns and oranges. but i certainly see plenty of white girls rocking some hot pink leopard print - probably bc they can pull it off - insomuch as anyone can pull off anything made of hot pink leopard print anyway...

When I think wolfman, I think hypertrichosis. If we're talking about a fictional wolfman, I think of a man who perpetually has wolf characteristics (fur, maybe a muzzle and fangs, maybe the ears) but retains overall human form and rationality. A werewolf transforms from a human to a wolfish creature under the full moon. During the transformation he becomes a primal predator and retains little to no memory of events afterward.
