It is an adjective. Implications: alive, sinuous, making a low persistent buzzing sound, non-threatening, unintelligent, not visually ingratiating, maybe "cute" but in an ugly sort of way.

Hi

I've never heard it as a word on its own at all. It is the second part of 'curvy wurvy' which you can use in a light-hearted way to mean curvaceous or having exaggerated curves. But it really only works for me as part of that phrase

Here's a photo that is curvy wurvy

Thanks for your answers! I was thinking about the word "Wurvy" as a brand, for example toy or somethig like that. But as I understand you "Wurvy" is bad name for toy. Tell me please, what thing or subject do you imagine hearing this word?

Me too. I was playing jacks and go fish, throwing pick-up sticks, and spinning a hula hoop.
