frindley commented on the word sook
Just in case you were mislead by the usage example on fossick, sook isn't always used harshly. It can also be used kindly and can even serve as a term of endearment, as in these examples taken from a list of NZ and Australian words:
sook: kindly description of someone who is being silly, or behaving like a softy or scaredy cat. As in:- "you're being a sook"... "just a big sook" and so on... More often than not the phrase is used as a term of endearment.
To this can be added the idea of teariness or being prone to crying, hence "sooky baby".

Interesting, frindley. I hadn't heard those usages or known that it was a term in use in Stri and NZ. You did remind me of this word, though, that I know is used in Newfoundland. I've heard it defined as someone who's kind of an idiot, but the only reason I heard of the word in the first place is that it's the name of a folk tune, "The Sook." Pretty awesome tune.
