Eeny is a four-letter word commonly used in counting-out rhymes. Counting-out rhymes are a type of children's game in which one person is chosen from a group by reciting a rhyme. The rhyme typically involves counting up to a certain number and then choosing the person at that number. Eeny is often used as the first word in these rhymes, such as 'Eeny, meeny, miny, moe'. Counting-out rhymes have been used for centuries and can be found in many cultures around the world.
