形容词 adj.
  1. Characterised by a hooting sound.
    — Kegel has a distant, underpowered chorus and a dull orchestra. Tempos are too rushed for effect, and the interpretation is downright delicate - totally inappropriate. A hooty, scratchy soprano and a stiff baritone don't help.
  2. Very funny; hilarious; fit to make one hoot with laughter. slang
    — It's the kind of hooty melodrama Burnett used to spoof, but new series doesn't know where to look for laughs, with lame ideas lamely written (a cavewoman discovers cow's milk; Burnett is forced to impersonate her own celebrity look-alike) and others (a gay guy in Antarctica, Spike Lee ripoffs) that are striving so hard to be hip.
