groovy

Groovy means: Excellent, cool, fashionable. Hippie-era slang from the 1960s and 70s, now firmly dated and almost always used ironically or affectionately by younger speakers.. It is informal slang, fine in casual speech but not suited to formal contexts. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

groovy means: Excellent, cool, fashionable. Hippie-era slang from the 1960s and 70s, now firmly dated and almost always used ironically or affectionately by younger speakers.. Register: dated, informal. Suitable only for casual conversation, chat and social media. Do not use in business, academic or news writing. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
