I like rabbit, served any style but have to be careful with my tone when ordering it in restaurants.
Mr. Or Ms. Bunny is 兔子 (tù zi) with a falling tone on tù, while the zi is neutral in tone.
Get the tone wrong and they're going to refer you to a trichologist or shave your head or set you up with a Yul Brynner type lookalike.
秃子 (tū zi) with a high flat tone means a bald person.
