Spoony:

Adjective
spoony (comparative spoonier, superlative spooniest)
Enamored in a silly or sentimental way.
Feebly sentimental; gushy.

Noun
spoony (plural spoonies)
(informal) A foolish, simple, or silly person.
(informal) A foolishly amorous person.
 
Ah, I see. If it’s an innocent thing, I’d say certainly not. If one is purposely being foolish then that would be a sin.
 
I honestly can’t understand why it would be considered sinful to be spoony. Which isn’t to say that there aren’t some sinful things which are also spoony, just that I can’t see the sinfulness coming from the spoonyness. As it were.

On an unrelated note, spoonyness may be one of my new favorite words.

The bard was fun until he gets injured. I guess he gets a nod for playing that harp when you’re up against the Dark Elf. I’m told in the original Japanese game, that cave is a nightmare without being able to use your equipment.

The only other “spoon” definition I know is when it’s used to describe a couple holding each other while lying down.

In all versions of FFIV, you can’t use most metal equipment in that cave unless you are able to remove the magnetism in the cave.

Odd note: I learned that from playing FFIV. 🙂

Back to the topic, you are right. It’s just that, I never really realized that until now. o:

Note that any action, no matter how small or innocent, can be upgraded for sinless status to venial or mortal sin with the Scrupulator™, which is available for free upon registration at CAF. 😛

I know that. Perhaps my dangling modifier in that sentence was unclear. Probably so. And I still call it FFII even though I know the whole story about the numbering system and the real II and III versions.
