Jeeeeeeeeeeeeff

III made that word up (woosie) in Los Angeles in 1981 and used it in nightclubs for about a year. I did it on a bet with another guy in the band that I could make up a word and get it used in slang all over the USA. I hae not seen that guy since about 1986 and I never kept track of him cause he was a dick. Woosie originally meant the same thing as "pussy" (chicken, weak, limp, etc.) I think it first got picked up on TV on "The Simpsons". Then it got altered to "woos".

I can't prove it, but it's true, I really did it. And I spelled it 'woosie'! pete
