pooka

an extremely competative game involving stealing of a pooka bracelet/necklace. includes a lot of rules about the manner in which the pooka is allowed to be stolen including, "bribery is encouraged, especially in the manner of sexual bribery." after the pooka is stolen, a committee can award points based on the skill of the pooka.

Pandora tied Kate to a tree, grabbed the pooka, and ran like hell. The rules committee gave her two points for creativity but subtracted one for being a wuss and running away.

pooka

Yet another name for the total avatar. An anonymous online presence with no substantive human component beyond the compulsion to compete in online games while developing little to no real world significance (Farmville, Eggbreaker, EmpireAvenue).

Commonly found attempting to curry favour, stir up dischord, and attempting to create support for other 'myth' based creatures (ie. House hippos or Unicorns)

person Y: No dude. She just stepped in Unicorn shit.
person X: Whew. Almost fell for it.
