I mean, yea, Gabriel Iglesias used the word fluffy in a few jokes and as the title of one of his specials. But he used it as an adjective meaning "fat", though, while Eric is using it as a proper noun evoking "cuteness" (ironically, in reference to a person who you obviously "wouldn't want to fuck with"). It's definitely a unique word that conjures Gabriel Iglesias, but he didn't invent it, and I think using the word "fluffy" as a pet name instead of a description of a person's weight is totally different enough for there not to be any issue of originality here (if that's what you were suggesting, The Oracle).
Also, the "about the joke" blurb here is damn awesome.
