A term that came about in the 60s. It means "excellent", "tubular", "awesome", or "cool".

Literal: Groovy is where the far out goes, man!

Colloquial: It's like, you know, so far out that it's in, and so like, in, you know, that it's far out, you dig? Like, it's so hot that it's cool, and it's so cool that it's hot! It like, makes you like to say like. I mean, it'll blow your mind, man!

very cool(a 60s and 70s catchphrase)

Delightful, awesome.

The term originated in the 1920s among early jazz musicians as their music was recorded in grooves on a record. It became most popular in the 1950s, and fell from favor by the mid 1960s.

First of all i would like to point out that anyone who says that groovy is old and uncool is completely wrong they are the people who stopped using the word groovy because they were not groovy themselves and still arent!!. Groovy is a wrongly unused and seemingly uncool word which is infact the best word in the history of the whole world ever!! the word groovy describes something cool, great, amazing and basically anything good... it needs a revival people!!dont listen to those assholes who tell you what to say!! use the word groovy!!get groovy!!

to be in the groove..to be cool

Marc Mandrake slang definition: cool.
