SQUEE

Squee is an English interjection used to express excitement, delight, or affection, especially in online communities and fan culture. It originated as a playful reduplication of the word squeal and is commonly written as squee, with variations such as SQUEE or elongated forms like squee!!!. The term is frequently attached to descriptions of cute or endearing things, including animals, plush toys, fan art, or adorable moments, conveying a high-pitched, enthusiastic reaction without specifying a precise emotion.

In addition to its use as an exclamation, Squee is the name of a fictional character in the webcomic Homestuck by Andrew Hussie. The character is a minor human figure who appears in portions of the story, and the name has been referenced within fan discussions and materials related to the series. The existence of a character named Squee is distinct from the general exclamation, though the overlap with online fandom culture has led to occasional cross-references.

The term squee is widely recognized as internet slang and is most common in informal writing, comments, reviews, and fan works. While it remains primarily a casual expression, it has also appeared in broader pop culture contexts as a shorthand for enthusiastic, affectionate reactions to cute or exciting content.
