Stookie is a versatile piece of Scottish dialect slang. In its most common modern use, it means a plaster cast — the kind that gets scrawled on with Sharpies after you break your arm. In older or more informal usage, it can also mean plaster of Paris itself, or call someone an idiot (standing there like a stookie means you're as dumb and motionless as a plaster figure). If someone in Scotland tells you to stop standing there like a stookie, they mean stop gawping and do something. All three senses connect to the idea of something hard, white, and thick.
- stotty cake57%
A Geordie (Tyneside, northeast England) name for a stottie — a thick, flat, round bread roll with a dense crumb and a characteristic dimple in the middle, baked on the bottom of the oven. Stotty cakes are a point of fierce local pride in Newcastle and the surrounding region, where they're used for substantial sandwiches stuffed with pease pudding, ham, or anything else going. Despite the word 'cake', there's nothing sweet about them — the name comes from the Geordie verb 'to stot', meaning to bounce (the dough is said to be so dense it bounces if dropped).
