Hi.
Welcome back to eat your crust podcast.

Welcome, Harpreet, to the podcast.
Before we get to our topic at hand, we have a fun slang word to talk about.
The word is pookie, and it's also sometimes used as Pookie bear.
I think this word is really funny because it sounds like what it is, a pet name for someone you care about or love.
And it's pretty funny cause the way it's used as slang is kind of ironically or poking fun at the usage of these kinds of sometimes silly pet names.
I've actually first seen it from the NBA, or a lot of fans like to call their favorite players Pookie, especially in moments where they're praising them or admiring them.
So I have, like, a personal theory on why this has resurged lately.
Because the word pookie and that term specifically is not new, but there's some sort of couple on TikTok that blew up, and they live this, like, very lavish lifestyle.
They're very, very affectionate to each other, and it's to the point where their skits and TikToks almost feel scripted.
So that couple, I think the guy's name is, like, jet or something, and the girl's name is Pookie.
The couple, they narrate their video.
So the guy's like, oh, today, pookie and I went to go do this, like, blah, blah, blah.
So then I feel like it became a meme of this is, like, a very publicly affectionate couple who love posting their, like, affectionate pet names for each other.
So let's kind of take the pookie meme and roll with it, essentially.
Wow.
