Marvy / Marv

Marvy, short for marvelous, is one of the more ridiculous douche words. Not only does it have that cutesy sound to it, as does any word with an "ie/y" or an "ette" added to the end (googly, sweetie; dudette, Rockette, Chipette), it also reminds me of the word mauve. *shudder* What's up with that word anyway? First of all, the color is gross and '80s. Secondly, is it pronounced mahhhv or mohhhv?

Ok, tangent. Back to marvy or, as I sometimes call it, marv. I generally hear this word when someone is super enthusiastic about something, while also wanting to be snooty. It's the kind of word I would lump into the same category as lovely, enchanting, pleased, and "how do you do." 

I especially like one of the Urban Dictionary definitions of marvy:

"1950s term short for marvelous. Fantastic, awesome. Sounded cool in the 50s now it will get you killed."
