- LukeShu 13y agoI suspect that it is a geographical-cultural thing, not an age-culture thing. edit: for clarity
- b0b_d0e 13y agoWell, in my defense, I know what it means to be groovy and sorry if post made it seem otherwise. What I was misunderstanding was the fact that you can actually endorse personality traits on people since I have made a point of staying as far away from LinkedIn as possible. I thought that you were only able to endorse skills, and so when I saw they were endorsed for a personality trait I was a little confused and wondered if they meant that as a skill trait :)
- nitrogen 13y agoI interpreted the OP as saying that the uncle endorsed "Groovy" as a skill (presumably the programming language), but probably thought it was a personality trait.

- westicle 13y agoWikipedia is OK, but I don't think anything can explain Groovy as well as Simon & Garfunkel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvlW4bEjB5A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvlW4bEjB5A
