What does GROOVY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Fashionable, stylish or very enjoyable, especially in the lively spirit of the 1960s and 1970s.
Groovy grew out of jazz talk, where being in the groove meant playing with a smooth, confident rhythm, and it spread to ordinary speech in the 1960s as a general word of approval. Today it often carries a smile of nostalgia and is used to evoke that era, though some speakers still use it in earnest. A slightly different old sense describes a person set in a fixed routine, as if running in a groove.
