What does the word BLOOFY mean?

Q: What does the word 'bloofy' mean?

A: The word doesn't mean anything. Stephen Colbert used it in Newsweek magazine when he guest-edited the June 15 (2009) issue.

He was providing biographical information at the end of a piece written by Daniel Lyons.

"Lyons is Newsweek's tech editor, and has his own blog, twitter and bloofy. Don't know what a bloofy is? Get with the times, Grandpa!"


No, Bloofy is not the name of yet another new social-media website. Colbert was simply satirizing how these sites keep mushrooming all over the place.

List 'bloofy' under words invented by Stephen Colbert, such as wordinista and truthiness. You won't be able to find a standard dictionary definition for it.
