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.

oh pooh i can't make this Friday! I was looking forward to meeting up again with the chums I made last time - at the Lodge upstairs at EDT - my first time at the Forum drinks.

Annie x - Mojito Girl

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 :))

    • And halfway down, "commercial venues and events" 🙄
    • Help! I plugged an external hard drive into my laptop  to see what was on it, and now I can't eject it because it has started doing something.  I'm getting a message that it's currently in use, close any programs or windows that might be using it, and try (to eject it) again. But I've closed everything down that I can see. It's got an enormous amount of stuff on it, documents photos and music,  which I don't want to lose.  Could it be synching to OneDrive? What shall I do? Just wait till it's finished whatever it's doing? Surely whatever it's doing shouldn't have started automatically? I hate my laptop with a vengeance 🤬 It has caused me nothing but trouble since I got it. I also hate Windows 11. Rant over.
    • Looking for books  on the above wars - preferably first person accounts.
    • Mango Indian just off Borough Market is great. A bit pricy (though worth it) in the evenings, but if you're going for lunch they do a £12 set menu. Not quirky though, sorry!  https://lovemango.co.uk/menus/
