Adj. sense:

Of or pertaining to hippies: e.g., “the hippie era”.

The example does not seem like a true adjective to me. It seems like an atributive noun. Is there a true adjectival sense here?

A quick Google search gives a lot of results for "very hippie", so that suggests it's an adjective. —CodeCat 19:37, 22 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Yes, good thinking, I have changed the example. Mihia (talk) 20:29, 22 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Hmmm ... I changed the example to "That dress looks very hippie", but is this definitely an adjective now? It's not like "That dress looks very drag queen" or "That dress looks very Michelle Obama", is it? Mihia (talk) 20:32, 22 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

It looks like Mihia removed the "RFV" tag back in February. I have, however, cited this one now, with more than just a "very hippie" quote, but also a "more hippie" and a "less hippie" (and there are plenty more if someone wants them). I would call this RFV-passed Kiwima (talk) 20:23, 3 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
