*wookie*, silly! I thought that was perfect! But apparently my opinion doesn’t matter.
(And, I know I tell you all the time, but I looooooove it when you wookie at me.
)
My daughter walked in the room, say your header and said, “I know how to spell Wookie - W-O-O-K-I-E, that’s EASY!”
If she was older, I’m sure it would have been accompanied by an eye-roll.
That’s a tough one to capture both in words and actually attempting to do it and make it sound good.
You could always just run with *CHEWBACCA GROWL* that way people who don’t know what the hell a “Wookie” is still know what you’re doing. Everyone knows Chewbacca!
Poppy- But I wonder what the general consensus of non-madly-in-love-with-me people would be!
*WOOKIE*
Colleen-
That’s classic! I bet she didn’t even have to read it off the screen either!
BlondeBlogger- It does have a nice ring to it.
Kapgar- This is a really good point. In fact most of humanity thinks that Chewbacca isn’t just the name of the character, but the name of the species. Someone once asked me how Han could understand the Chewies… as if there was more than one Chewie. Silly Trekkers.

In a text message I think I would have to go with *Wookie-yawn* or *Chewie-yawn*, but *WOOKIE* works just as well.
BLEEP! *SWOON*
Was I the person who said the thing about Han understanding the Chewies? Because that’s totally adorable and sounds like something I’d say, but not out of ignorance, just out of cuteness.
It’s spelled “Wookiee”, by the way. I’m so ashamed right now.
Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrn (with just a whisper of the ‘n’ at the end.)
I always spell it *yyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn*
There are options.
*chew* - a bit ambiguous, but the double meaning possibilities are endless. And by endless, I mean at least 5.
*wook* - shorter, and a lot funnier to say aloud.
*chewbaccayawn* - most explicit but takes precious real estate, especially in a twat or sms text. However, since most twats are public, might be the most broadly consumable. And who doesn’t desire a more consumable twat?
*wookrawggggrhrhr* - obsolete form of the expression, only supported for backwards compatibility. See wookiee(1)
*wiikie* - Nintendo version of yawn hero.
*rookie* - chinese version of Chewbacca.
*C3P-pol* - the algorithm that if one person yawns, and is around a crowd, it is inevitable that you will see-three-people yawn due to contagious nature.
I don’t know. You lost me at “wookie” because wookie rhymes with nookie and nookie makes me think of sex and now I’m horny and my husband is at work. Thanks!
I like just the *wookie*.
But it sounds like “nookie”.
OK, so I guess it means
“yawning at someone you love”
instead of
“dude, you are boring me to death.”
If we’re voting, and I think we ARE, then I say keep the *wookie* because that’s all super cute and lovey dovey. Plus it’s like your own little code...except we all know about. Hrm.
wook
or wookiee
or wookiee yawn
or any of those are awesome and i might totally steal your little inside joke and giggle at my german shepherd when he makes the noises you are talking about
p.s. adam was so right about the spelling.
(don’t you hate when he’s right??!?!!!)
Geez, he is always right! He’s caught two of my misspellings so far. Ugh!
OMG I should totally ask Rob for you. He spent a whole afternoon with my kid, while we were in the zoo, doing Yoda and Chewbacca sounds… *rolling eyes*
If I remember correctly its like:
Bwuaaaaooooohhhawwwoooooaauuu
Or summin’…
But that might be a long ass txt word…
Adam, you need to tell that to Fab. Especially with regards to my poll for today and your response to it. He needs to realize that you and I are always right and there is no argument about it.
B.E. Earl- *Chewie-yawn* for some reason makes me crave cookies.
Poppy- Sadly no… it wasn’t you. But it was someone with a very similar name!
Avi(table)- You are correct. I feel so ashamed…
Delmer- Mmmm… that’s alot of *rrrrrr* there. It would probably take a minute to send that. I really need a phone with a QWERTY keyboard.
Miss Britt- Yes we know. Your a Trekkie at heart. You’re all about Spock and the Live Long and Prosper Shockher Hand Gesture. It’s okay. Your secret is was safe with me.
Whall- I’m torn between *wiikie* and *C3P-pol*. Very torn. Very very torn.
Shelli- I know your aches and pain. Luckily it takes me around 7 seconds to rub one out… all nookie like and stuff.
Annie- I like that translation… *Yawning At Someone You Love*… *YASYL*. Simple. Eloquent. Nice.
Hilly- It is sort of our own code… but it’s not like everyone doesn’t know what “Saying Hiiiiiiiiii” means either. We would suck as spies.
Hellohahanarf- Hey wait! Your German Shepard can’t be infringing on my trademark *Wookie*!!!! Well… since he is German… I guess that’s okay then… ‘cause then he’s like blood.
P.S. I know Adam’s right… and what’s worse… is he’s a full fledged freak Trekkie.
BlondeBlogger- I’m waiting for the lecture on the proper use of “your” and “you’re"… so don’t feel bad.
DutchBitch- Wise in understanding the languages of the force, Rob is. Lucky to have him around, you are.

I knew I wasn’t going to be able to come up with anything, but I just had to read the responses!
