Vangroovy
- (informal) Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
- 2002 August 30, Laura Madokoro, “Super, natural Vancouver, B.C.”, in Globe and Mail:
- Because "Vangroovy" is the most stereotyped city in Canada, I felt what I as a newcomer needed to do: ditch the power suits, eat organic, exercise a lot and be laid back all the time.
- 2009 November 21, Tom Graff, “Vangroovy Vancouver”, in Vancouver Observer:
- Here we are in a beautiful Calgary garden. The groovy newlywed young engineer who designed and installed the very Vancouver garden spent his childhood in Richmond. He offers me a veggie burger and with a straight face says, “What’s it like in Vangroovy these days?”
- 2013 December 11, Liane Faulder, “Nothing beats a gorgeous cookbook to tantalize the taste buds”, in Edmonton Journal:
- Recipes and photographs are nothing short of gorgeous and if you’ve got friends in Vangroovy (and who doesn’t), this book will delight them to no end.
