Adjective. The citations look like attributive use of the noun. I doubt that citations can be found supporting non-attributive, "true" adjective use. DCDuring TALK 18:28, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
- What about In a less whoop-de-doo vein are the suits of cheetah,... and It's all very whoop-de-do? Kiwima (talk) 00:11, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
- It's not a term I'm familiar with. Is it American only? DonnanZ (talk) 00:19, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

The list of alternative forms includes many that have two syllables (eg, whoopy-doo) and therefore seem to me to be different terms. I don't know exactly how to characterize the relationship among words in the two groups of terms, but it is not that members of one group are alternative forms of one member of the other group.

- I'm having a hard time reading whoopy-doo as anything other than 3 syllables. That list of alternative forms looks pretty coherent to me. Colin M (talk) 09:36, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
