What does BLOOIE mean in Scrabble?
interjection
informal
Used to express that something suddenly failed, exploded, or went wrong all at once.
Blooie imitates the sudden noise of a small explosion or a plan falling apart in an instant, much like kaboom or bang but with a more comic, deflating tone. Writers reach for blooie when they want the reader to feel a quick, almost cartoonish collapse rather than a serious disaster, so it shows up often in casual storytelling and humorous writing. The word is also used informally to describe something breaking down, as in going blooie, meaning to stop working suddenly. Blooie shares its meaning closely with the variant spelling blooey, and both forms describe the same abrupt, noisy failure.
