What does COOEY mean in Scrabble?
interjection
AustralianNew Zealandinformal
A loud, far-carrying call used, chiefly in Australia and New Zealand, to attract someone's attention or signal one's location.
People call out cooey across open bush or a crowded beach to let someone know exactly where they are without needing to shout a name, and the call carries well because of its rising, drawn-out second syllable. The word is also spelled cooee, and either spelling can work as a verb, so a bushwalker who calls cooey to a lost companion can also be said to cooey for them. The phrase "within cooey" grew out of the same call, meaning close enough to be heard if someone shouted it.
How COOEY is used
Chiefly Australian and New Zealand informal usage, both as a call and, less often, as a verb meaning to call out in that way.
