Covey like lovey, but not like cove
I think it means something but i am not sure…. Does covey and cove mean something? I googled them, and can’t find any meaning that suits this.
In my understanding Covey is a name. And “Like Lovey” is something just using the rhyme like Lovey -dovey(to say it’s lovely girls….maybe?)
not like cove…. Hmm google said in british it means a man. But this book isn’t a british book. Does it mean a mean man or something…?
It’s from the book “all the boy’s I’ve loved before” , p.9

In IPA (the International Phonetic Alphabet), it would reduce to this:
Don't say /kovi/; say /k?vi/.
