[Mrs. Shawnlaw]

I grew up during the 60's and wouldn't have been caught using the word 'groovy'. That would have been tantamount to using the Lord's name in vain.

But I do enjoy using 'groovy' around children. They think its hysterical!

That was back in the era of phonograph records. You know, those groovy black things?

Now with CDs and portable MP3 players all the rage it should be "pitty" or "bitty."

Bruce Campbell is responsible for the best use ever of the word "groovy" in Sam Raimi's hysterical Army of Darkness. Campbell is a hand short in the beginning of the film, and needs something more versatile than the chainsaw he starts out with, so he makes a mechanical hand.

The hand complete, he proceeds to pick up a heavy metal cup and crush it. He then holds the hand up, looks at it, and deadpans, "Groovy."
