What does COOEE mean in Scrabble?
interjection
Australianinformal
Used as a loud, far-carrying call, especially in the Australian bush, to attract someone's attention or signal one's location.
A hiker lost from the group might give a cooee so that others can find their way back by following the sound across open country. The call developed among European settlers in Australia, and its rising second syllable carries unusually well through forest and scrub, which is why it became the standard bushland signal. From the call, English also gained the phrase within cooee, meaning close enough to be within hearing or reach of something.
