What does "foodie" mean in slang?
The structure adds the suffix "-ie" (often used to form affectionate or informal nouns) to "food," creating a friendly, approachable label for a hobbyist. It is used to describe someone who is very interested in cooking, trying different foods, exploring restaurants, or following food trends, often posting reviews or photos of meals on social media. People typically call themselves or others "foodies" as a positive identity, not an insult.
Examples
She 's a total foodie and posts food pics daily.
