Feelin' Groovy with Get the Word!

from Get the Word! with Mike Butler · host Get the Word!

Hi everyone, it’s Mike. Today we’re talking about a word that most would argue is definitely past its peak popularity. Groovy. We’ll look at the interesting origin of this word and also why we have seen a resurgence in popularity of the word groovy over recent decades.  Let’s start with the definition. The most common uses of groovy are standing in for words like excellent, enjoyable, exciting…. There are about a million synonyms for groovy, but I’ll narrow it down to just some of my favorites: awesome; dynamite; cool; primo; radical; righteous; stellar. You get the idea... Make sure to go to the website, ( www.englishsessionswithmike.com ) for some embedded videos of songs mentioned in the podcast today, and for the audio transcript, as always.
