History
Probably clipping of doo-doo + -kie (diminutive suffix), later repopularized by the 1989 film No Holds Barred and later still the 1994 Green Day album Dookie.
In Scots, dookie, doukit, and douker (terms related to the British English duck, equivalent to the American English dunk) have all been used to refer to Baptists. Hence a dookie in Scots is, jocularly, someone who ducks or dunks people in water when baptising them.
