"Stookie"Pronounced : s-too-key
Definition: n. A rigid dressing, usually made of gauze and plaster of Paris, used to immobilise an injusred body part, as in a fracture or dislocations.
Translation : If you break your ankle, save the bother of going to hospital by simply using your wank sock as a plaster cast.

| Shetland |
The place for the letter S today is Shetland, also called the Shetland Islands, is a subarctic archipelago of Scotland that lies north-east of mainland Britain.
Way back in the eighties during the British recession, my dad had to go away for months on end just to find work. One of those far away places that Dad went was The Shetland Islands. When he came back, it was brilliant to hear all the funny stories my dad today of stuffing Puffins down his sleeping colleagues' troozers.
And now a short but interesting history of Shetland. Love the accents.

Puffins - not just for dinner anymore.
I had a broken leg once. I am so glad I did NOT have to wear a stooky. I understand they are awful!
Love the picture on the cast or Stookie.
I've heard about the Shetland Islands...it looks like one of those places you can go to to clear your head.
Frankie Boyle is hilarious! So, so wrong, but hilarious!
Haha! I was always pretty sure that plaster casts were just wank socks xx
Huh? Sounds more like it should be like this. "Hey baby, give me a little stookie tonight."
Any place that can be made fun off like that is sure a place to go.
I'm thankful I've never needed a stookie.
a wanking sock? as in only 1? those darkest jokes were funny
Stookie is a word I've never heard before Lass! Despite it being a little close to Snookie it sounds awesome though!
I love Puffins . We have a Shetland Pony ...really we do.
And here I thought Puffins were a myth (jj), so adorable, would love to visit Shetland.
