neutral  The Kat (X): Doozie is often used in the context of troublesome, difficult or problematic, so I wouldn't use it in place of 'cacko'.
4 hrs
  -> Doozie can be used both ways, depending on context; here, it means cacko. "Eye candy," on the other hand, is unequivocal in meaning.
agree  mike23: These are very good ideas.
