what is the meaning of ' luvvy'?

Question

the word contains double v & not w as it appears for persons of poor sight.

Answer 1

It's a British slang term for someone behaving in a facetious (or false) manner. It also refers to actors and actresses who behave in this manner.

In America we tend to spell it lovie or lovey and it is used in phrases such as lovie dovie (sweetykins, etc.)

Here is a site where Professor Crystal explains luvvy as a British colloquial suffix. It is outrageously funny: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/radio/specials/1728_uptodate/page22.shtml

It's also the name of a DJ (Disc Jockey), DJ Luvvy: Here is a video clip: http://www.djluvvy.net/
