Hey! I learned a new word today, and I think it can be used to describe Suri!
When I first found out about it, during a trivia challenge, it said the word was used to describe something/someone that is "overly cute" OMG!
I instantly thought of Suri. So I looked it up and this is what I found....
TWEE:
In British English or English English, twee is from "tweet", a baby talk alteration of "sweet". It is used to denote something that is overly sweet, knowingly cute or overly precious.
The Oxford English Dictionary records the first use in 1905 in Punch magazine.
The website World Wide Words gives the definition as follows:
It means excessively or affectedly quaint, sentimental or mawkish, sometimes coupled with words like nauseatingly. Its a strongly negative word, and a very useful one, that is in common British use. It appeared at the beginning of the twentieth century to mean something dainty or sweet, a girly and gushing word. It appears to have developed from tweet, not the noise a bird makes, but a childish attempt at saying sweet. It might have been helped along by a feeling that it could be a blend of tiny and wee (Scots for small), though it isnt. [1]
OK, so now we need a British celeb to say they saw Suri and that she was "twee" OMG!!!!
