"Pookie" and "RayRay" have been around for a LONG AZZ Time.

Like most words/terms in our use (Black Folks), they can have multiple uses (Context).

"Pookie" could also be your Girl, or even a Baby.

Context always matters!

And in the case of "Pookie and Ray Ray", the context is "Fukkin Up"

The people who use that term in that way aren't referring to the character from New Jack City.

Pookie is basically a run-of-the-mill hood nickname.

It's the nickname version of "Tyrone".
