Woobie
A woobie is a blanket. The term is most frequently used to refer to a child's blanket as a transference object. (See Help for Infants and Toddlers with Attachment Disorder for more details.) The term woobie was possibly first coined in the 1983 film "Mr. Mom" starring Michael Keaton and Teri Garr. It is often used by Generation X, post-baby boomers, as a playful term for a comfortable blanket.

[Trying to get Kenny to give up his security blanket]

Jack Butler: "I understand that you little guys start out with your woobies and you think they're great... and they are, they are terrific. But pretty soon, a woobie isn't enough. You're out on the street trying to score an electric blanket, or maybe a quilt. And the next thing you know, you're strung out on bedspreads Ken. That's serious." - Memorable Quote from Mr. Mom

Neologism or non-notable slang. Delete. Andrew pmk | Talk 01:40, 27 October 2005 (UTC) Delete as per nom. I don't think we want seperate articles for individual terms of endearment, least of all obscure ones, on Wikipedia. Anyone looking for Woobie, Pootie pie, Snoogie woogie, Pitsy pookums, Snookums, Honey pie, Chewie wewie, Chunky cheeks, Cheeky chunks or Sweetie poops should try a dating agency.

 * Agree with nom. Can this be moved to wiktionary or merged someplace?  If not...delete. &mdash; Gaff  ταλκ 01:42, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
 * delete many google results mostly seem to infer a different meaning. I don't believe this constitues as being wiktionary material.  Also WP:NOT a dictionary, much less a non notable slang dictionary.  -- Malo 05:22, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
