groupie slang (1969)

[Benjamin Zimmer]

There are recordings floating around the blogosphere taken from an
audio documentary called "The Groupies" by Alan Lorber, released on
Earth Records in 1969. Various rock-band groupies give extremely
candid interviews about their experiences:

Included in the liner notes on the back cover of the album is a
"groupie glossary," with slang terms used by the interviewees. The
glossary can be seen on this page (third image down):
