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.

He came back to school with his whole arm in a stookie after falling off his bike during the holidays.
Origin: From Scottish 'stucco' or 'stookie,' derived ultimately from Italian 'stucco' (plaster, stucco). The material sense gave rise to the cast sense, and the 'standing motionless like a plaster figure' sense produced the idiot usage. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
