Talk:pookie

A quick Google search reveals that indeed this is a Tagalog slang term. Uncle G 01:16, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

needs "Pookie is a common euphemism to describe something cute. It is also often used as a pet name or as a term of endearment for one's significant other." added somehow. (was recently removed from wikipedia as a dicdef). thanks :) -Quiddity 03:08, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Pet name
In my experience, pookie is a pet name, as attested in What’s Wrong, Little Pookie? by Sandra Boynton (and other such books Happy Birthday, Little Pookie); it’s also used in books by Ivy Wallace (UK 1950s). Don’t know if these are sufficient attestations – it’s admittedly more used orally (esp. in casual, intimate conversation) than in writing.
