Definition of a 'spoy'

Gilchrist family dictionary

Spoy

1. A combination of the two words boy and spoiled.

2. The word spoy is used to describe a particularly adorable baby boy who expects to be held/played with every waking moment of the day.  An example of a spoy is a baby who is laughing and smiling on his play mat, perfectly content, until all members of his family disappear from visual range.  A spoy will wait approximately 10 seconds, looking in all directions, before his lower lip will jut forward and tears fill his eyes.  At this point if a spoy does not receive immediate attention then he will burst into loud protest.

3. The family of a spoy are quite helpless, because they are completely in love with these delightful creatures.
