squeadle

A type of dog (especially of the "doodle" variety) whose utter adorbs-ness makes one squeal spontaneously upon sight. First coined ca. 2015 in London's Kensington Gardens--home to one of the most concentrated populations of squeadles in OECD countries. Note: although all dogs might be technically "good boys" or "good girls," not all dogs are squeadles. Certain breeds that are typically small, nippy, and obnoxious are automatically disqualified from this designation due to the overt lack of adorableness. "Squeadle" can be enhanced with intensifiers such as "Pro" and, in exceptional cases, "Pro Plus" (the highest level of canine cuteness). In recent usage, an actual squeal is often replaced or combined with a simple utterance of the word "squeadle," delivered with a deadpan matter-of-factness that underscores the undeniable verity of the statement.

Wilma: "Squeadle."
Zelda: "Where?"
Wilma: "Over there, in the park."
Zelda: "The Chihuahua?"
Wilma: "No! Chihuahuas aren't squeadles!"
Zelda: "The Pomeranian?"
Wilma: "Nope"
Zelda: "Ohhh... the Wheatedoodle. Total squeadle!"
Wilma: "Squeadle Pro Plus!"
Together: "Eeeeeee..."
