i don't have "dookie" , so i'm trying to figure out its syntax.  above
it's used as a count noun (like "turd"), and similarly in "dookies" for
"Dukies".  but HDAS glosses it as 'excrement', which suggests a mass
use (like the most common uses of "shit") as well.  is this possible?
things like, "gross, there's dookie all over the floor"?

arnold, ever curious
