gazc , whats a sook ? i have led a sheltered life .

FYI

So have I led a sheltered life I but love these word games

From the Collins English Dictionary. Copyright © Harper Collins Publisher

sook in British 1
(sʊk  )noun1. Southwest England dialect
a baby
2. derogatory
a coward
3. New Zealand informal
a calf

Word origin of 'sook' perhaps from Old English sūcan to suck, influenced by Welsh swci swead tame

sook in British 2
or souk (suːk  )Scottish verb 1. 
to suck
noun 2. 
the act or an instance of sucking
3. 
a sycophant; toady

sook in British 3
(sʊk  ) Australian and New Zealand informal verb 1. 
to complain peevishly
noun 2. 
a peevish complaint

As our reference is from a person North of the Border I would suggest the explanation contained under British 2. Scottish verb 1. to suck ;noun 2.  the act or an instance of sucking 3. a sycophant; toady

So my guess is the last one, a sycophant; toady and before you ask A sycophant is a person who tries to win favour from wealthy or influential people by flattering them and  a toadie? Well that's a person who flatters or defers to others for self-serving reasons; basically another sycophant.. To be a toady to or behave like a toady

Love it

Regards
THJ

Not at all , i've known the two ladies for a long time and they're great . Psssionate about their club - yes , but arent we all . Things can get a wee bit silly and out of hand on here , but when you meet people on here face to face , the majority are good people , and TaylorJ and Shazza fall into that category. 

Still a sook :D,  i don't doubt you and yes it is slightly mental on here at times.
