Apparently, we have Bugs Bunny to blame. He calls Elmer Fudd a "poor little Nimrod", and, people failing to catch the allusion, the name transformed into a put-down.
From that link comes one to an article claiming that Bugs Bunny is Jewish. "Of course, being smart asses, we have to add that RABBIT - T = RABBI."
Not mentioned in that article is that he generally solves his problems by talking his way out of danger rather than through physical means, a time-honored tradition among our people.
