Wednesday Word: Hunky-peroodlum

Hunky-peroodlum - adjective.

This intriguing Valentine's Day word was preceded by hunky-dory (1860s) and succeeded by hunky-dunky in the 1950s. Popular around the beginning of the 20th century, describing someone as hunky-peroodlum was to notice their attractive and possibly sexually inviting nature.
