Talk:oodles

I can't find any evidence that this word is onomotopoeic. Etymonline suggests that it may derive from "kit and caboodle"; other sources simply list it as unknown. If someone would like to tell me what sound "oodles" is imitative of, I'll gladly let that etymology stand. —Dvortygirl 06:50, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it has something to do with "noodles" which may come in a large unspecified amount. The transformation of "a noodles" to "an oodles" is possible but of course no one says "a noodles" or "an oodles" now, so that's just a suggestion. The origin of "noodle" is also uncertain.
