Etymology: "Smackeroonie" is an alternative spelling of "smackeroony," a slangy word for a loud, affectionate kiss. The "-eroo" ending reflects the same playful pattern found in words like "smackeroo," which is an alternative form of the same kind of noise-driven slang: the word imitates the sound of lips meeting with force, and the extra syllables stretch it into something cheerful and exaggerated. The "smack" at its core is an older English word for a sharp, resounding blow, and it came to describe the loud sound of a kiss, as in the phrase "a smack on the lips." The suffixes that follow add the affectionate exaggeration, turning a crisp noise into a more playful word for a hearty, noisy kiss.
