"Hooptee" or "Hoopdee" is a slang term used to describe a complete POS car. A beater. A vehicle that's all banged up, burps smoke out the tailpipe, etc. No; I don't know the history of the usage of the word...I heard it years ago and assimilated it into my vocabulary.

My truck is far from a hooptee (I use that version of the term), so no; I don't refer to my vehicle as a hooptee.

Sorry you drive a POS.

A long time ago, when I was young, my grandfather referred to cars as "hoopies".
I think this must be similar. It was not a reference to a POS, as that term was not even invented yet, but any car/truck.

No.

 

[FeuerFrei]

it's hooptee ... not hoopteehoo. Get it right or go home.

No, no, no. You're confusing the "get the nookie home-mobile" with "the nookie" itself. Understandable on a Saturday night when mind-altering chemicals may be involved.

As the wise man that wrote the song "Bust A Move" wrote many years ago:

You've got no money, you've got no car, you've no woman, so there you are!

Or something very similar...at least I've captured the overall message, if not the verbatim lyrics.

Interestingly enough, hoopie is also 1/2" round webbing when river guides say it.
