US slang that references childhood:

Cooties are an imaginary affliction from childhood.

When children reach the age where they notice the sexes are different the children claim a member of the opposite opposite sex will give you "cooties" if they touch you.

Its a way of little girls telling other little girls not to play with boys and vice versa
You played with little Jimmy? Ooow, your going to get cooties.
