I was given an American novel and in it is a lot of slang which I do not understand. For example:

�She's going to spooge when she sees what a great job we've done on this assignment!�

�I've got another five thousand messages from Nigerian losers who think I'm just another mugu.�

�I just put a new word in the oodee. Have a look, Bub.�
� Badow!�

He was drop dead gorgeous. One look and I went all nippley.

What do these words mean?

Spooge

Mugu

Oodee

Badow

Nippley

Such strange words. Please help me.

The book uses slang which is sort of adult focused.

"She's going to spooge when she sees what a great job we've done on this assignment."
Spooge - in lack of a better definition "to ejaculate"
The speaker is making a joke about how happy or satisfied the subject will be that she would actually ejaculate.

"I've got another five thousand messages from Nigerian losers who think I'm just another mugu."
Mugu - what an african scammer would call someone who falls for a scam. There are a lot of people who send emails to people, saying they are a prince of an African country and a large amount of money in an account has been frozen. They need you to send them $5000, in return you will receive $1 million dollars. This is just a scam. Mugu is not commonly used in America.

Oodee - it refers to the urban or modern street english.
Badow - its sort of like a spoken exclamation mark. Its like saying "HERE!" or "BAM"

He was drop dead gorgegous. One look and I went all nippley.
I'm not sure on this one, but I think nippley refers to being sexually excited.

I have come across the word spooge in two other contexts

It is jargon for inexplicable or arcane code, or random and probably incorrect output, from a computer program.

It is also found among alcoholic drink names:

Cr�me de Spooge: a drink made from 1 part beer 1 part cream soda

Spooge *beep* made from 1 oz Kahlua coffee liqueur, 1 oz Malibu coconut rum, 1 oz cream

Hawaiian Spooge

2 oz. Vodka
2 oz. Gin
2 oz. Triple Sec
2 oz. 151 Proof Rum
2 oz. Coconut Rum
2 oz. Pineapple Juice (Unsweetened)
2 tsp. Sugar
1/2 oz. Lime Juice (Sweetened

Although spooge has different definitions, due to the context of the sentence, I believe my explanation was correct.

The alcoholic drinks also refer back to my definition of what spooge means.

I think spooge here means suddenly very excited at that moment when she sees what... Smile
