Cookie – never heard of Cooky except for maybe a nickname.
Aw, damn. This is one of those trick existential things that I will obsessively ponder for days. I need a cookie…er…cooky…um…cookeigh?
Is it hippie or hippy?
WHY????
Hippy is someone with big hips.
I have a doctor friend who is lippy. What does that mean?
I’d say that’s pretty lippy @janbb. You better see a doctor. Tell em you’re seeing double too.
cookie
“Cooky” is someone’s name, or a misspelling, or a variant of kooky, which is something else.
You betcher bippy it’s cookie!
I’m not lippy, I’m lippie.
Cookie.
Kooky means strange and crazy.
My SIL used to call her son Cookie, but said it kooky, and I gather she had no idea that word existed or what it meant. I never corrected her. She would have only been mad at the messenger.
Cookie is always spelled cookie, unless you’re the Cookie monster and then you’re allowed to say cooky.
When I was very young—during an early grade, which would have been the early-60s—the following:
Singular = cooky
Plural = cookies
“Cooky” has so fallen out of usage, however, that it now seems to be archaic. I think it would be highly unusual to find that spelling anywhere.
It is cookie, you kooky man.
@Love_my_doggie Interestingly, “The earliest known use of the noun cooky is in the mid 1700s.”
“OED’s earliest evidence for cooky is from 1759, in the writing of J. Townley.”
So you’re right, it used to be a thing.
Where is @cookieman when you need him?
^^ Or is it really cookyman (which sounds vaguely Jamaican)?
Oh FFS! Of course is “cookie”. It’s right there in my name. Yeesh.

Can’t we have at least one question without mentioning the unmentionable?? ^^
