Cootie

IPA pronunciation: 'ku ti (Koo tea)
Noun Plural: cooties ('ku tiz); alternate spelling: cooty
Originally coined in 1917, this was a British military slang term used during World War I for a body louse (the singular of body lice). This term came from the Malay word "kutu" which was used for parasitic insects that drink blood for nourishment.
In modern times this term is typically used by young boys to tease girls, though many who use it have no idea what it means or where it came from. Some even erroneously believe it's a type of STD.
