What In Fuck's Name Is A "Snookie"?!

Hey guys.

Sorry about the blogging hiatus.  'Round here we've been inundated with reading for school, finishing reading "Game Change" for personal pleasure, travelling to Utah, and other things.

I'll jump right into this, though...

I'm in class today.  The class is Western Civilization, from 1650 until today.  Our teacher's a bit eccentric.  That is to say that our teacher is a card carrying member of the communist party, who in some disgusting cliche, some obtuse parody of what he wished he could have been, mentions daily that he lived in the "sixties", as if that were some kind of special qualification.

You lived in the 1960's?  No shit?!  With the small size of the baby boomer population, you must be totally fucking unique, right Mr. Merry-Prankster-Has-Been?  My God, I don't think I know anyone else who ever lived in the "sixties".  I certainly don't know anyone else who ever experimented with illicit psychoactive drugs or had revolutionary ideas about American society.  Please, let me shower you with awe, kind sir.

You are a national treasure.  You are just like the Beatles and Hunter Thompson.

Oh.  Wait....

Back to reality, with a news flash: Hunter Thompson couldn't finish a single fucking written work without The Rolling Stone sending him some kind of literate aid to essentially write the shit for him because he was too drunk to even slam the fucking keys on the typewriter, and the Beatles are the most overrated musical act of their time.



For good drunk writers, stick with Bukowski.  For good baby boomer music, stick with the Stones.

I digress.  Mr. Prankster-Has-Been was late today, if only to propagate his persona as a brilliant Bohemian somebody/nobody.  While we waited for him to arrive, I listened in on the conversations of the students around me.  Nothing makes me want to have my head bitten off by a mutant rabbit more than listening to people between the ages of 18 and 23 talk to eachother.


A loud girl with a Chicago-style accent was telling a guy with a pink and green neon backpack and one of these...


... that she lives in Boulder and that she loves it, but that it's too expensive, and blah blah blah.  She proceeded to tell him/everyone-around-her that she works at Cheeba Hut (a marijuana themed sandwich restaurant, for the uninitiated) on "The Hill" in Boulder.  She said that it sucked, but it had it's advantages, like being able to get "...high and crunk all day long, while working."

Crunk?

Did you use the word "crunk"??

What is wrong with these people?  When I heard her say it, I glanced up to see if those around her would stare her down derisively for using what amounts to an MTV marketing/hip-hop buzzword as part of her daily lexicon.  I waited... and waited...

The necessary glaring never happened.  They all laughed and seemed to agree that it would be ok for the media machine to define the way we speak through (terrible) brain dead, misogynistic rappers like Li'l Jon, or who-the-fuck-ever these assholes are.

Piss on Li'l Jon.  I hope he goes crunk driving and wraps his car up around a telephone pole, sending blood and dreadlocks flying everywhere.

Crunk may not be dead, Mr. Jon, but we would all be 
better off if you were.

Again... I digress.

As the vacuum of intellect in the room assailed my (extremely fragile) mental equilibrium, dragging me in and out of some kind of hellish-dreamscape-unconsciousness, I heard the same big mouthed girl say something about being like "Snookie".  I thought, as I have before when I have heard this term: "what the fuck is a Snookie?"

The nature of this blog post is at least two-fold: to explain to you guys what I think "Snookie" could possibly mean, and to ask you humbly to explain to me yet another pop-culture phenomenon that has escaped me until the last minute.

Here we go.

Possible Snookie Definition #1:
n. any "funk" or "gunk" residing conspicuously on one's body

Synonymous with "schmutz".

The arrows indicate the snookie.

Examples:

-Charles, you have a little snookie on your face.  Here, wipe it off with this napkin.
-Mustard, as a snookie, can be dangerous, as it is a potent skin staining agent.
-The actress Angelina Jolie loves nothing more than to be covered in loads and loads of hot snookie.

This is a possible definition just because I think it sounds right.  Try it out, dear reader.  Say "Charles, you have a little snookie on your face" out loud right now and you will agree, this is a good guess as to the definition of this word.

Possible Snookie Definition #2:
n. a new brand of cookie marketed to children and shaped like snakes

Snake + Cookie = Snookie.  Am I right?

Examples:

-I could really go for a chocolate chip snookie right about now.
-On Christmas eve this year, we plan on leaving milk and snookies out for Santa.
-Why, Billy?!?  Why did you feed me poisoned snookies?!  I'll see you in hell you... you... *gurgles out last breath*. 

Possible Snookie Definition #3:
v. to blow-dry one's testicles post-shower, and immediately use a liberal application of baby powder on said testicles

Me, snookying away.

You guys remember this post, here, in which I explained how to blow-dry and baby powder your nuts in order to avoid "Yoda Balls", right?  Well, I didn't have a good word for the entire process itself.  Perhaps my (dad's) idea has caught on in such a big way that it has become part of pop-culture at large, and has been named "snookying".

Examples:

-Since I started snookying, I have had perfect day after perfect day.  My whole world just gets better and better.
-When snookying, it is important to use a baby powder product that will not be carcinogenic if introduced to a woman's uterus.
-Honey, you smell disgusting.  Why don't you snookie anymore?  You used to when we were first going out....

Possible Snookie Definition #4: 
adj. being particularly ugly, either physically or ideologically

This one makes sense just because I don't have any affinity for the kind of people I have seen talking about snookie in passing.  Well, I guess it doesn't actually make sense.  I'm just associating the word with the people using it most frequently.

Examples:

-I can't decide who is more snookie... is it Al Gore, or Elena Kagan?  They are both so snookie it makes my eyes burn.
-The snookiness inherent in the resistance to the "Park 51" Cordoba House Project is readily apparent to anyone not advocating a theocratic American government.
-I have a huge snookie-ass boil growin' on my leg.
I'm sorry... I had to do it again.

Possible Snookie Definition #5: 
n. some horrible anal hair of a woman who has attained fame and fortune by degrading herself and all other women in the world, effectively relegating herself and all of her fans to a backwoods, archaic understanding of sex, intellect, and cultural norms

Synonymous with: prostitute; whore; average celebrity in 2010; Justin Beiber

I find this definition most likely.  This is the definition I am betting on, and is clearly the most realistic option from what I have deduced through context.  If this is an accurate definition of snookie, then a pox on all snookies.  A horrible pox.  A crippling, deforming pox.

Some snookies of note.


Examples:

-I like living in a trailer that is part household, part meth lab, and I am proud that my kids will grow up to be tremendous snookies.
-It boggles the mind that people watch all these snookie-centric television shows.
-The difference between a snookie like Lady GaGa and a legitimate professional prostitute is that a professional prostitute is not lying to every one of her customers, and she is not actively advocating for millions of young women to join in her profession.
****

Alright.  That's it folks.  I don't know what a snookie is, but I'd like for you guys to let me know what you think of my definitions.  If you don't know what a snookie is, which of my definitions do you find to be most likely correct?  Or do you have some definition of your own that you could offer?  If you do know what a snookie is, would you let me know?  I hate being out of the loop, and I feel that it will be easier for me to interact with my fellow American youth with this information under my belt.

Thanks for putting up with this raving and ranting.

I need to go take a huge snookie.  Until next time...

Love.

I, too, lived in the Sixties. Alas, they ended just as I turned six. Just to put a useless and partial claim on the decade.

Anyway, not everybody likes the Stones.
Bleh.
Not that I'm a big Beatles fan, but writing Fail all over their photos is rather your own formative decade showing through in exactly the way you hate in other people.
Oh, dear, another enlightened college kid knowing better than his teachers. Where oh where have we seen that before? You're a national treasure!

The Ranter's Box said...

Welcome back Charles! Despite your absence you are in fine form. I'm partial to definition #3 because your ingenious man grooming 'thingy' really did need a formal name.

Definition #4 is partially accurate and makes a for a great adjective. However, Definition #5 is spot on! The only 'snookie' missing from your photo lineup is Paris Hilton. (See my Tuesday post for her photo.)

Mynx said...

I too was a child of the sixties, and I forgive you for the Beatles thing. The Stones just don't do it for me. I vote for definition #1 & #3 because I love that photo of you in that towel.
Can I suggest a snookie might be a sneaky nookie. Nookie being lovely sex and a snookie could be lovely sex in public? Just a thought..:)

Jen said...

Ahahha. This was hilarious.

I rather agree with the last definition...I think it is rather fitting!

Fickle Cattle said...

I must say I agree with NanU (whose sense of irony is inspiring, so I'm off to visit her blog). And I come from your generation. Just so you have context.

Joe Pereira said...

Your teacher uses the fact of being a 60s youth like some people use the Bible - to explain their actions,experiences and failings. How shallow both types are! I think "snookie" is a diminuitive form of the word "snook" as in -'to place one‘s hand so that the thumb touches one’s nose and the fingers are spread out, in order to express contempt'- . But I guess it doesn't make sense when used in the context of your 'eavesdropped' conversation :)

Corianda said...

This is genuinely the best post you've ever written. I missed you Emerson. One question, who the feck is that ugly women and why do you always put poo on her face??

George Wells said...

I have to go with definition #4 as being the closest in my opinion. #5 is a close second though.
I don't think that the Beatles are any more overrated than Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson or Angelina Jolie. But they are overrated to a degree, as are a lot of others.

Simple Dude said...

Great post to come back with. #4 or #5 are similar enough that I can't decide which I would prefer. I think a combo, since an ugly ideology would be a good description for those who are "fans" of the fame whores you mentioned in #5.

That gets me thinking... other then Bieber who is horribly annoying in his own right, but at least is producing something that someone, somewhere may call music. But who would consider themselves a Lohan fan? What the Eff has she done in her line to warrant fans?? Uggh.

Stones > Beatles indeed. Much better influence on rock as a whole and there is something to be said for longevity too.

Jumble Mash said...

Brilliant. I personally like the snake/cookie definition, but I do love me some cookies.

Definition #5 is pretty accurate though:)

Constar said...

OMG i think i love you! i know exactly what you fucking mean! its funny but my university classes used to make me so angry because of almost all the things you described! and the teacher? hahahaha you have no idea how many of those i had! one was a real bohemian asshole, but slipped during lecture once and gave us the wrong def. of irony! all i could think was, " who lets you teach here!!!" but no one else caught it, they just go mindlessly with whatever the asshole in the front of the class tells them. and the bettles!? SERIOUSLY i try and tell ppl this but they look at me like im the crazy one because i dont think that "the yellow submarine" was genious! oh and dont even get me started on nirvana! im sorry for anyone who likes curt cobain (s/p?) but he makes me feel like killing myself! teen spirit!? what does that song even fucking mean!!! its a bunch of jibberish!!!

Raquel's World said...

I like Definition #3 It is by far the best and seems quite useable, as a matter of fact I am gonna use it today and see how well it goes over. Also that pic looks like a fellow blogger check him out here

http://bagwine.blogspot.com/2010/09/please-stand-by.html

I think you will find him hilarious if you do not already follow him and the resemblance is uncanny!

One more use....Charles HAVE A SNOOKIE DAY!

Micael Chadwick ("Rabbit") said...

I am rather partial to head biting mutant rabbits - but (and forgive me for being old and/or unhip) WTF is "crunk" ? It's sounds like a heavy turd falling from the leg of your britches hitting the floor in public. "Whoops! I crunked!"

And as for snookies? That's all yours. I don't even want to KNOW about that's existence.

Waldoni said...

Did you know that 'Snookie' was our first nickname for you as a child? Go figure!

steph gas said...

am i the only person reading who really has a desire to let charles know who snookie is?

and only because i truly hate her and all her stupid jersey shore counterparts. that could be because i'm from long island, and we inherently hate jersey and most things from it.

snookie is a self proclaimed 'guidette' who does nothing but 'gtl' all day. sadly, gtl is now an actual term used by the kids (sort of like crunk, but even worse). it stands for 'gym, tan, laundry'. this is what guidos/guidettes on the jersey shore apparently do every day to obtain maximum douchebaggery. snookie actually posted a video rant on youtube saying the president was like singling out jersey short cast members by putting a tax on tanning beds.


yes. seriously.

i tried to watch this show in it's first season with awesome husband, who is italian, and we made it 12 minutes in (including mtv's 7 minutes of commercial breaks) before we had to change the channel.

also, charles, i too used to hate the beatles. i think it's kind of something that lots of people do for a while. the hatred either dies down to a slow, simmering dislike that is easy to live with, or you end up liking them. i hate the who, though. and i take a lot of flack for that.

@micael - crunk is actually a kind of fascinating word, if you know the origin of it. it's a slang term used by rappers of the 'durty south' variety today, meaning either 'crazy drunk' or the kind of drunk when you smoke chronic and get drunk as well. it depends who you talk to/believe. but it's popularity actually began in 1995, when it was used on the conan o'brien show by conan, andy richter, and ice t during a broadcast. conan and andy had decided they needed a 'code word' to replace all the curse words you couldn't say on television, like shit, fuck, etc. so 'crunk' became that word for them.

so fuck you, lil jon and hip hop community at large, for stealing that word from the whitest man on the planet.

Charles- Great Post. I go with #5. Also an excellent analogy pointed out by Joe Pereira in a previous comment.
The Kagan/Baby Ruth pic is just abhorrent but like passing a car wreck I can't look away.

Kirsten said...

I think it's important for you to know that snookies are actually the sugar morsels left behind in an old bag of sour patch kids.

geets said...

I'll take definition number 5, it must have been difficult limiting yourself to three examples...lol. I know a few folks who were around in the sixties but none who boast about it! Maybe it wasn't so exciting here we were still a third world British colony and despite the rumored existence of a Black Power Movement they seem more mythical than anything else. Oh and I like the Beatles.

Isn't amazing how many stupid people make it to university? I think we are no longer a race of thinkers and problem solvers, the education system is designed to make us a herd of followers...the better to manipulate us...and so that one day under the spreading chestnut tree
I will sell you and you will sell me—. Have a go at George Orwell's 1984.

Lastly, I am amazed and terrified of the fact that rappers and many other so called entertainers define our world to such a large extent. Piss on Lil Jon and all the rest!

Candice said...

Definition #5. It's in the dictionary..or at least it should be.

I'll have to take a deep, calming breath and do my best to forgive you for the Beatles thing. I'm a proud fan of their Liverpoolian awesomeness. The Stones just aren't my thing, and Mick Jagger looks like a friggin' mummy that escaped his wrappings. (How old is he, anyway?)

I can totally sympathize with your experiences in class with younglings. Being 28 and back in college I see those little minions everywhere I turn when I'm on campus.

Anyway, it's good to have you back, Charles.

Carey S. said...

sorry to be the one to break it to you charles, but there is no such thing as a snookie. it's sort of like a harpie, troll or any other nasty mythical creature.

and, you hate hunter s. thompson and the beatles?! not sure if i can forgive you for that, but i'll try, just because you're so right most of the time.

The 2 O'clock Shadow said...

Steph I agree, I thought more of Snooki from Jersey Shore, see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicole_Polizzi, why I have no idea, I hate that show and what it has done to our society, I wish I never knew about it, unfortunately it is hard to avoid seeing her on every stupid commercial and show out there. The Stupidity of that show I feel my IQ points draining just talking about it. Who knew you could get your own show by being a tool or a ditz. We are allowing MTV define our generation, DEAR GOD, we are in big trouble.

Sorry went off there for a minute, and geets I agree, it is amazing the people that make it to college and oddly enough at times are now our boss and you know more than they do. And 1984 is my favorite book, Big Brother is watching now more than ever. If you do not hear from me, it is all a government conspiracy, lol.

FALEN AKA THUNDERCAT said...

I'ma go with the drying off your balls as the meaning of "snooki"...that picture...PRICELESS!!

Good to have you back. I've missed my morning laughs!! And..uhm..what the heck is a "crunk" anyway??

Ninja Mike said...

I love your criticism of the Beatles and the Stones. Good stuff. Snookie is some annoying chick on some show I don't watch. I gathered some nintel (ninja intel) from a 22 yr old girl last weekend cuz I didn't know either.

She is friends with J-Wow and J-Wow actually spells her name with multiple ww's on the end cuz she's a dumb hoe. I refuse. They get into fights with sammie i think and have sex with extremely douchebaggy guys... And I think that's the entire show. I forget what it's called but Snookie and J-Wow are nicknames or something.

Mae said...

Yes, well, I disagree with your assumptions about the Beatles. They are undoubtedly over-rated, like dozens of other "great" musicians, but I'll probably always love them either way. But everyone's got their own thing.

I do agree with you, however, on the Lil Jon and Snookie thing. Those defs are pretty funny but I'd surely go with #5 because thats what a snookie is to me.... when its not a nasty little jersey midget who looks like she just had a romp in a bag of cheetos and bling.

Jayme Amber said...

Am I the only one who hears the word, "snookie", but can't get that damn Limp Bizkit song "I Did it All for the Nookie" out of their head?

Seriously. Make it stop.

Nicki said...

So thanks to the incredibly informative comment section of this blog, I know now what "crunk" means.

I like definition 5, but it makes my heart bleed a little that such a definition exists.

I'm not going to lie, I thoroughly enjoyed all the definitions, but my favorite part of this post was the Merry-Prankster-Has-Been reference. I only had one Kesey-worshipping professor in college, and I count myself lucky for that.

Pragmatic Spector said...

I love NanU's comment, and I'm so glad it's the first one because otherwise I would've (sadly) missed it. I think it's ironic you dismiss the Beatles as a fad (not that I'm a fan, like you, I also think deifying Beatles along with a myriad of bands and popular artists from way back when is a fad) and then you proceed to use fad words like "fail." You have a beautiful mastery of the English language; your prose and manipulation of syntax is sophisticated without having to be overly pretentious or sesquipedalian-like. So you can imagine my surprise when I see you hopping along. I don't know maybe I'm scrutinizing this too much. The sad thing about cynical youths is that no matter how intelligent or "superior" you are to the rest of them folks, they'll always come off as annoying. I see teenagers who succumb to the orgy of inanity in the media as well as teenagers who deviate from such but are condescending to be simply two sides of the same coin. What's the difference between the slave and the rebel? Macroscopically, nothing. They're interchangeable roles and I think this post epitomizes that concept. No offense. Glad you're back. Thank you :)

Molly Malone said...

Right there with you on The Beatles - can't stand them. When people find out I'm from England, one of the normal reactions is, "So, you love The Beatles, right?" Nope, friggin hate them. If I were that stoned off my arse the whole time I could write nonsense too.

Momma C said...

HAHAHAHA! I was laughing my ass off reading this! My go to spot for the weird/stupid/idiotic new words out there? www.urbandictionary.com

They list 24 definitions for snookie! That right there ought to tell us that it really doesn't mean a fucking thing! Have a look and a good laugh! I particularly found numbers 2 and 6 amusing.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=snookie

The Adorkable Ditz said...

I personally liked the ball drying definition and the whore one. Why can't Snookie mean both of them? Jersey Shore and most television is a waste of space and I am disgraced to know that people of the human race not only act and watch this kind of shit, but LIKE IT!

I can totally forgive you about the Beatles thing. Not everyone likes the Beatles. I would write more but so many people beat me to it!

Charles, darling.

This is a snookie:

AGAIN? You said you'd never use the picture and you used it AGAIN. I have a feeling you want to snookie Elena Kagan. Sorry, I had to. Also, stop picking on Justin Bieber. Gaga, Kardashian, Miley Cyrus are all fair game. But please, not the Bieber. I LOVE HIM. Don't judge.

'Snookie' Busted!

Miss Meg said...

This truly made my evening, given that I, too, have been plagued with experiences similar to the one you had with the alleged Snookie "alter-ego" for the past few weeks. I, too, have just started taking classes again, and I sympathize. Silly us, thinking college-level courses were intended to inspire higher learning, or some dumb-fuckery of that nature.

Furthermore, I finally gave up hope for myself as a red-blooded American, and Googled the little, er, "specimen" we refer to as a "Snookie" in order to find out what I needed to know in order to assimilate to the demands of my culture. I was disheartened, to say the least. Therefore, I am simply going to adopt one of your definitions, as they are, sadly, much more pleasant than the reality.

As for your rather self-important, Bohemian professor extraordinaire: I have come across plenty of those as well. Perhaps I am also a "cynical youth" who thinks I know everything there is to behold in the vast world of academics. Or maybe it's better to be a cynical youth than a cynical old fogie spouting his backward dogma to the rest of the world and expecting the rest of us to eat it up without a moment's hesitation. Tut, tut.

ElizaVan said...

There were a lot of comments to get through by the time I got here, so I didn't make it through them all. But I'm glad someone finally told you who Snookie was.

I also have to say the "Crunk" 15 years ago meant drugs, not just a fun word to justify getting drunk and acting like an ass.

But what my comment is really about, is the fact that you have made me realize that I don't know very much about "pop culture" and that I don't spend a lot of time hanging out with the age range of 11-23, as I rarely have more than vague clue of what you are talking about when you make fun of them.

I'm happy not to be a part of their universe, and I fell pretty bad for you since you seem to be enrolled in mandatory classes with a lot of them.

Even with a thorough snookie every morning, they can still ruin you day....

Max said...

As a junior high teacher I just have to say I laughed my ass off over your anal hair/prostitution/Justin Beiber comment. I just wish I could relay it to the next 14 year old that gets all "ahhhh, Justin Beiber :) :)" without getting fired.
Thanks for the laugh, and sorry I missed ya when you were here in Utah.

The Barreness said...

Damn.

I've been intently scrolling down through the comments, searching for your eloquent (and, one can but hope, unabashedly vitriolic) response to NanU's comment. But alas, you've yet to lower yourself, and I'm breathless in anticipation.

Also, I would have liked to respond to Pragmatic Spector, and not becaus I think he/she is entirely wrong. Some fair points were made, methinks, about two sides of the same coin, and your impressive command of the English language. However, I would contend that using a modern popular expression in a modern popular technological format is in no way akin to jumping on a bandwagon which proclaims the undying greatness of a musical group who wrote very little original material and as such was actually a lot less revolutionary than they are given credit for being. But maybe that's just me.

Also I would have liked to respond to his/her clever tailing of the rather negative (and lengthy) comment with "no offense" which I consider pretty ineffective and decidedly insincere at that stage.

Unfortunatelty, I felt ill placed to reply after having had to look up most of the words in said comment. (Damn me and my short attention span during vocab lessons!) and furthermore figure that you're more than capable of fighting your own batles, so I've refrained from responding at all.

Aren't I well behaved?

Laura said...

THANK YOU! I thought I was only one who doesn't give a snookie about the Beatles.

I work down the street from my alma mater. Sometimes I'll walk through the area (referred to as their campus but it's really just downtown atlanta) on lunch. I usually lose my appetite or want to start drinking heavily when I see 1. all the snookies and 2. hear them speak. It hurts. It really, really hurts. You are brave for going back to school (they tend to congregate there).

I bet they have Snookie #2 in Texas. Texas seems like a place to find those Snookies.

Micael Chadwick ("Rabbit") said...

Laura, in Texas they are called Buckle Bunnies and Hair Farmers, but the cooze is still the same...

Summer said...

i did not care for the first part of this post. not everybody is going to enjoy the beatles, but to write FAIL on their faces points to the fact that you FAIL to recognize what they did for the music industry. the stones are annoying, except for a few songs maybe. in any event, these are all just opinions now aren't they?
i would also like to say NanU said everything else i wanted to say about the beginning of your post, so i'm going to comment no further on it.
i have no f-ing clue what a snookie is considering the fact i haven't had cable in four years. i'm going for #5 though cuz it's makes the most sense.

Barbara said...

Reading and catching up. I haven't been around either. I needed your blog today, it helped me smile - thanks.

Anonymous said...

The generation gap in your readers is EPIC. Congrats on amassing such a broad audience.

With regards to the snookie - I'm going to go with #3. I thought a snookie was the space between your balls and anus, anyway, so this definition seems quite fitting.

Chanel said...

Oh...where to start? I have no idea.

My grandparents were alive in the sixties. I know absolutely nothing about what they did except that my grandfather kind of ran away to go see the Beatles perform during their 1964 tour and he was fourteen. And he got in a lot of trouble because he was gone for like a week or something.

Um...Next...the Beatles? Okay. We'll start there. Real Beatles fans don't actually think "the Beatles were like totally the most awesome band like ever!!!!!" Like any fan, we simply appreciate the sound and enjoy listening to it. The Beatles are my favorite band, and I'm under no misguided belief that they were the best band ever. I like to sing along to the lyrics, and I like to dance to the music. *shrugs* I work in music, so I enjoy almost all forms. (For the record, techno is NOT MUSIC. It's electronic noise, and you should slap anyone who tries to tell you otherwise.) And the Stones are good music, too, just not something I'd like to listen to all of the time.
I thought a Snookie was one of those silly blankets with arms. But then I Googled it and apparently that's a SNUGGIE, and a Snookie is one of those tacky people from that stupid show in Jersey about morons who think tanning is awesome and beating women is okay. People talk about the Jersey show all of the time and frankly I like your definitions better, especially definition five, although I don't get what Justin Bieber (Beiber?) has to do with women degrading their gender by sexualizing (is that a word?) themselves for fame.

And what the hell is crunk? I think I heard that once my first semester in college when my roommate said it to someone on the phone, and I thought it meant like crazy. But your picture leads me to believe it means drunk. So maybe it's crazy drunk condensed into one word? I think it still sounds stupid though.

*says it out loud* No, I KNOW it sounds stupid.

And...rap. Okay, I have just two words: Kanye West. Now I have more words. Who the HELL calls an IDIOT like that a genius, aside from himself? I take it you've probably never read his blog, but after they dedicated an entire episode of South Park to his laughable ego (BF showed it to me because he knew I didn't like Kanye West after that whole Taylor Swift thing. Really, who the hell picks on a 19 year old girl on national television?) I clicked a link that took me to it. He wrote in all caps, his spelling was atrocious, and it was pretty hard to understand what he was trying to say because there were a lot of grammatical errors that just...gave me a headache when I tried to decipher them. I don't know when or how or why it became socially acceptable to worship morons, but it irritates the hell out of me that people listen to his illogical drivel and then rave about his musical genius. What genius? A five year old could do what Kanye does.

And...that was pretty much all I had to say, sooooo...bye?

I have no idea who Snookie but she/ it(?) sounds familiar. I read through your readers' comments and the Jersey Shore show that some of my friends are raving about. I haven't watched it. And I don't think I can stand it.

As for the definitions, I am leaning towards number 3.

I think Snookie is one of the characters in a t.v. show called Jersey Shore. One of THE WORST shows I've ever had the misfortune of stumbling on.

I'm thinking that "snookie" is a conjunction of "secret" and "nookie". To keep you from having to ask Mr. Prankster-has-been, "nookie" is an antiquated term for sex. For example; "In the 60's I used to get some snookie in the back seat of my dad's car."
