SaySHY-neez/ˈʃaɪ.niz/
- 1Plural of shiny.
The children traded shinies like marbles and foil wrappers at recess.
Collectors prize old coins and other shinies for their luster.
Note
Only the noun takes this plural. The adjective shiny, meaning reflecting or emitting light, never does. The noun's main uses are informal: glittering trinkets and desirable collectibles, the things a collector lines up on a shelf. A dated, derogatory slang use for deskworkers forms its plural the same way. The spelling follows the usual rule: a final -y after a consonant becomes -ies.
