dookie
English
Etymology 1
In Scots, "dookie", "doukit", and "douker" (terms related to the British English "duck", equivalent to the American English "dunk") have all been used to refer to Baptists. Hence a dookie in Scots is, jocularly, someone who ducks or dunks people in water when baptising them.
Etymology 2
Probably alteration of doo-doo, baby-talk reduplication of do, later repopularized by the 1994 Green Day album Dookie.
