The cut and
dry definition of preachy is a term said to describe a
person who is more times than not, giving advice in an irritating way: giving, or in the habit of giving, advice on morality or behavior, especially in an irritatingly tedious or overbearing way. This term is mostly associated with overtly religious people or people with controversial opinions or ideologies that try to shove their opinions down your thought. Some examples of people who might tend to be preachy are those bible thumpers who try to tell you what to believe, atheists who want to try to tell religious people that their ideas are invalid, the hippies who tell you to
hump a tree, or the radicals who try to make people believe irrational conspiracies that make them feel good. Most of the
time, preachy people only piss off those they try to sell their ideas to, and end up having a lot of
haters, and a few dick riders.
Dude#1: "I had to hitch a ride with our neighbors last
night and all they did was talk about how all
gays should die."
Dude#2: "They're just preachy
motherfuckers. Ignore them."
