I'm not sure Quids.


'Y' is normally appended to nouns to turn them into adjectives. The consequent word means 'having the condition or quality' of the original noun.


Hence a 'groupy' person, would be a person with the quality of a group. Not quite this context.


In 'groupie', I believe that the 'ie' is to signify a dimunitive (reductive) quality - as in 'one part of a group, not the whole'.


Same dimmunitive quality found in laddie, lassie, hoodie, mountie, junkie, oldie, aussie, commie, goalie etc.


If all else fails, go for common usage. 'Groupy' won't find any references to Groupies, as the word was first used in the lates 60s in pop literature, and was spelt groupie.

Its not a very big pub so look for the largest group in the place. We also normally tell the bar staff who we are, and in previous forum drinks threads there are links to photos.


Also - if you look for a blonde woman attached to a large glass of Pinot Grigio - that will be Georgia :))

      Highly Recommended Painter / Decorator - Temi

      By nipperpenrose · Posted

      Here to add my voice to those praising Temi. She just painted my dilapidated home office in ED and did a fantastic job in just two days in a much lighter colour, including woodwork, damp blocker and filling holes. She's efficient, on time and I barely heard a peep out of her; she just got on with the job. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

      Dawson heights parking charge notice

      By mary123 · Posted

      The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time

      Threads that devolve like this should be moved to the Lounge, so the 'comedy' can continue in an appropriate vacuum.

      How very dare you. Rest assured, if it were intended to be comedy, it would have been funny.
