'Tookish' means to have the traits associated with the Hobbit 'Took' family or clan. They are known to be unusually adventurous for Hobbits, which is what they will refer to as 'Tookish' behaviour. Both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins had Took mothers.
There is no one called 'Tookish'. 'Took' is a Hobbit family/clan name, a clan known for being more adventurous than others. To be called 'Tookish' it generally means that a Hobbit is descended from Tooks (ie, Bilbo Baggins, from his mother Belladonna Took) and feeling the call of adventure.
As much as he dreaded it, his "Tookish side" kicked in and he wanted to go.
His adventurous side the 'Tooks' are his relatives, who I imagine were not like other hobbits, as they were adventurous and didn't just stay at home
Because Gandalf asked him to go, the dwarves needed a good burglar, and the whole thing aroused his Tookish side, and so he finally ended up going.
According to the book the Tookish side of him was wearing off, and when he found them gone with a mess for him to clean up, he was relieved, although slightly disappointed, due to his Tookishness. However, when Gandalf forced him to come along without a hat or coat or kerchief, he was rather put out, and not at all happy with wearing Dwalin's oversized cloak and hood.
Bilbo is the oldest Hobbit at the age of 131 when he left for Valinor at the end of The Lord of the Rings. He is the grandson of Gerontius "the Old" Took, who was 130 when he died. The Tookish heritage brings out Bilbo's adventurous side, becasue the Tooks were more adventurous than other hobbits.
The response was: Fili and Kili looked uncomfortable and stood on One leg, but the others made no pretence of offering - except old Balin. the look-out man, who was rather fond The Hobbit. He said he would come inside at least and perhaps a bit of the way too, really to call for help if necessary.Fili and Kili were embarrassed but did not offer to go. The rest of the group, save Balin, did not even make a pretense of embarrassment and were fine with Bilbo going in alone. Balin offered to go inside a little way and call for help if needed.
