Loosie. A term used in Memphis, anyway, which is my hometown. That's how folks thereabouts ask for a spare cigarette. "Hey man you got a Loosie? "
That's why I named her thus, because she was a Loosie from her pack when I picked her up off the side of the road in the middle of the night, having barely opened her eyes - she was so small!
I love her dearly to this very day!! So back off b**** stray cat, I'm a mama too - and I got my sweetheart - 'tho clearly she's over it. #metoo
Crazy redhead. Lucy, Loosie, luci - fer. All fitting nomenclature, innit?
