Urban Dictionary

A spoonie is someone living with a chronic illness.
It mostly refers to physical chronic illnesses, though it has been known to be a helpful term for those with chronic mental illness as well.

It originates from Christine Miserandino's Spoon Theory story, in which she explains what it's like to live with chronic illness to a friend, and uses a handful of spoons to demonstrate.
For example, daily activities that healthy people tend not to think about take tolls on people with chronic illness. You start the day with a certain number of spoons, and play your day around not running out. Socializing might cost spoons, using the stairs might cost spoons, lifting things might cost spoons, etc.
Skylar: It's a low spoons day today, I don't think I'll go out.
Fallon: You're a spoonie? I didn't know. Well, I hope you feel better tomorrow. Can I do anything for you?

Word of the Day on November 4, 2022
Every berkley I’ve knew is just plain rude. They can trick you by being very kind, but turn there back on you and make your life a living hell. I would keep your distance from them. One day like an perfect person, next biggest butt you could ever meet. They usually act way older than they are. Not very good singers. Also very selfish.
Stay away from anyone named berkley
