the worthless word for the day is: shipoopi

[neologism of Wolfe/Meredith?]
slang a woman; the girl who's hard to get(?)

(Eric Partridge claims the slang meaning is simply
'a woman', dating from 1954.)

"Remember the halcyon days, when you could get a
cheesecake shot of any shipoopi into any paper by
announcing she had just been chosen Girl I'd Most
Like To Be Snowed In With?"
- Bernard Wolfe, The Late Risers (1954)

Now a woman who'll kiss on a very 1st date,
Is usually a hussy,
And a woman who'll kiss on the second time out,
Is anything but fussy,
But a woman who'll wait 'till the 3rd time around,
Head in the clouds, feet on the ground,
She's the girl he's glad he's found,
She's his Shipoopi.
- Meredith Willson, The Music Man (1957)
