hoodies
- 1Plural of hoodie.
Most of the students wore matching hoodies to the rally.
The shop prints custom hoodies with the team logo on the back.
Note
The plural carries every meaning of hoodie, not only the sweatshirt. In British slang, hoodies can be young people, usually male, who are stereotyped by the hooded top they wear and linked with antisocial behavior. That use is derogatory and best kept to quotation. The same plural also names hooded crows. Because it doubles as the plural of the variant hoody, the spelling alone never tells you which word is meant.
- 2Plural of hoody.
The campers grabbed their hoodies as the evening turned cold.
Vendors near the stadium were selling hoodies in the home team's colors.
Note
This is the plural of a variant spelling, and it merges completely with the sweatshirt plural on the page. What the hoody spelling adds is a regional bird: in Scotland, hoodies can be hooded gulls, which the hoodie spelling does not cover. The slang adjective hoody, describing crime-ridden inner-city life, takes no plural, so that sense never surfaces here.
