Take the pop culture acronym challenge
Pookie is a term of endearment that close friends, romantic partners, and family members may use to refer to each other. It's a playful, affectionate nickname meant to communicate warmth, love, and humor (in some cases). For example, a person might call their friend "Pookie" to express a deep sense of fondness or to show how much they care for them.
The term is informal and is typically reserved for personal relationships rather than professional settings since it's widely recognized as a cute, light-hearted name, similar to nicknames like "honey" or "sweetie." Some people might also use it for pets or young children, adding to its sweet and loving tone.
Origin of Pookie
The origins of Pookie are unclear, but many trace it back to Germany in the early 1900s as a term of endearment for kids that also became popular in the U.S. later in the 20th century. It also gained popularity on social media in mid-2022, particularly on TikTok, where it saw a resurgence as memes, funny videos, and posts, often referring to partners, friends, or even inanimate objects as pookie.
