It is used in Atlantic Canada (especially Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick) and also in parts of Scottish Canadian communities to describe a person who is overly sensitive, whiny, or prone to complaining, similar to "crybaby." People typically say "Don't be such a sook" or "She's a real sook when she doesn't get her way." The term originated in Scots language and was preserved in Maritime Canadian English, and remains a common mild insult or teasing term in the region.
