What does "zoomies" mean in internet slang?
The structure adds the playful "-ie" suffix to "zoom" (to move quickly), forming a plural only noun that treats the behavior as a recurring event. It is used to describe a sudden burst of energetic running or frenzied activity in a pet, usually a dog or cat, often involving sprinting in circles, darting around furniture, or bouncing off walls. People typically say "the zoomies hit" or "my cat has the zoomies" when their pet goes wild for a few minutes.
Examples
My dog got the zoomies after his bath.
