groover
n
1.
a fashionable, dynamic, hip person. A 1960s formation from groovy and the verb to groove.
2.
a tedious person, a swot. A probably ephemeral usage of the late 1980s, based on the newly pejorative teenage sense of groovy.
► 'Charmless college swots are no longer known as "nerds" but are on the re-ceiving end of a whole variety of new in-sults including "dweeb", "geek", "goober", "wonk", "corn-dog", "goob-a-tron " and "groover".' (Independent magazine, 24 December 1988)
