Hi all! Can you explain for not native English-speaker the meaning of the phrase "Curvy wurvy"? Excluding version from UrbanDictionary.com.
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, the definition from the urban dictionary is the only one. Others will use it as a "cute" synonym for "curvy" through a process called "reduplication". Using two words in a row that rhyme or have repeated parts has been employed for emphasis and to create new meanings.
