every so often i see the word "ooey" and get mad because it doesn't mean anything. if it meant anything on its own it would mean "gooey" but it doesn't, it's used to modify gooey. nothing is ever ooey salty or ooey crunchy - ThreadSky

I'm ooey pissed about the state of the world

It kind of works...

blakeyrat.bsky.social•488 days ago

Sometimes things are ooey oh tale spin

... sorry.

trickyc66.bsky.social•488 days ago

whereas "wimey" modifies both time and limeyness

grumqa.bsky.social•488 days ago

I have similar issues with "easy peasy". Unnecessary rhyming annoys me.

bganderson.bsky.social•488 days ago

I will accept it in the sentence "Ooey baby, won't you let me take you on a sea cruise."

viracy.bsky.social•488 days ago

I think it used to be “Oooweee” like “Oh my” which can be said on its own. But throw it in front of gooey and of *course* it’s going to rhyme.

baugb.bsky.social•488 days ago

maybe "ooey cutie patootie", like when a toddler is covered with mud or something?

nitesofsuburbia.bsky.social•488 days ago

Peasy only exists to be modified by easy.

Ooalty salty

hegaldia.bsky.social•488 days ago

ballyhooey

kenlowery.bsky.social•488 days ago

fixated now on "unchy crunchy." real '90s commercial aimed at kids energy there

wevy.bsky.social•488 days ago

Things are never velvety sharp or velvety hard either.

clockdivider.bsky.social•488 days ago

I realize it's a real word, but "strife" reminds me of this. It's a word that can't survive outside of a mush mouthed Newsweek headline.

sgware.bsky.social•488 days ago

I get this way about "resiliency." It has 2 different noun modifiers... might as well just be "resiliencenc."

nealk.bsky.social•488 days ago

It is an adjective used exclusively to modify the level of gooeyness. Now I will be thinking about whether there are similar words out there all day.

merrillotter.com•488 days ago

It's basically a synonym for "viscous."

nealk.bsky.social•488 days ago

By similar I mean words that are really only used to modify one other word.

vonhonkington.bsky.social•488 days ago

Send this back, tell the chef there's too much oo and not enough goo

agrsn2.bsky.social•488 days ago

Not with that attitude it isn't

davewithturbos.bsky.social•488 days ago

😂😂

illimij.bsky.social•488 days ago

I remember surreptitiously taking peeks at "Ooey" magazine at the local pharmacy.

deorcsceadu.bsky.social•488 days ago

"Nurple" doesn't mean anything unless it follows "purple".

jewcoffee.bsky.social•488 days ago
