smoothies
- 1Plural of smoothie.
The cafe blends fresh smoothies to order from whatever fruit is in season.
After the workout, the whole team lined up for protein smoothies.
Note
One spelling serves two singulars. Smoothie simply adds -s, while its variant smoothy reaches the same form by turning -y into -ies, so the plural never shows which spelling a writer prefers. It also carries every meaning of the singular at once: fruit drinks, smooth talkers, well-dressed mods, a figurative mishmash. Only context tells a blender's output from a room of charmers.
- 2Plural of smoothy.
The bar was full of well-dressed smoothies trying to impress strangers.
Her brothers were practiced smoothies who could talk their way out of anything.
Note
Consonant plus -y becomes -ies here, as in party and parties. That regular rule is how this spelling lands on the same form as the plural of smoothie. Smoothy is mostly an alternative spelling of smoothie, but it also has an informal sense of its own: a person, usually male, whose genitals have been removed through extreme body modification. In that setting the plural refers to people, not drinks.
