I always thought that a hoodie was a person who wore a hood. Now the term
seems to be applied the hood itself. So what do we call the person now - a
hoodieie?

Yes, in precisely the same way that mods are called parkeries, rockers
are called leathersies, and hippies are called afghanies.

A hoodsie is an ice cream cup, half chocolate, half vanilla. Comes with
its own stick which only adds to the experience.

Made by H.P.Hood Co. Boston Mass.

Teen-aged girls, who, like the ice cream, are "short and sweet and good to
