In Electronic Dance Music, a "techy" track is a track that is not a Techno one, but has strong Techno influences.
"Have you heard this new techy tune by W&W yet?"
"Yeah, what a banger!"

1. An often highly skilled person involved with technical theatre. Technical theatre involves sound technicians (A1s: board operator and A2s: microphone placement backstage), light board operators (spot light operators also), light designers, set designers, a deck crew (who move everything on and off stage), a props crew (who look after and repair props), a fly crew (in simple terms, the person who utilizes the pulley system on stage left or stage right to lower flats that hang from the batons located above the stage), and a costume crew (minor repairs and makeup). Although technicians are the most skilled workers in theatre, we hardly get credit for our work.
To be a good technician you must have basic knowledge of lights (Ellipsoidals, Pars, Fresnels, etc.) and gels, be able to do basic mixing on the sound board, and be able to QUIETLY move things on and off stage. A good technician is versatile.
2. Technicians are required to wear all black, during rehearsals and shows, so as to not be seen between the wings on stage or the "booth" (where the sound board, light board, and spot lights are most likely placed).
3. The most important thing is that the term "techie" is an offensive name. It is used by many actors to demean us. However, some actors don't mean any harm by using this word, they just don't know this term's negative connotation.
4. Last of all, technicians are the elite of the theatre. Do not mess with us because we will make you look horrible on stage.
Actor, "Hey techie, get over here and fix my costume..".

1. Nickname pertaining to a person of advanced technological knowledge and obsession. Someone who has the latest gadgets, and knows how to solve technology errors.
2. Nickname pertaining to a person in the field of technical theatre. A theatre technician, i.e. someone who mangages lighting, sound, backstage prop work, curtains, etc.
1. "Dude, Steven is such a techy! Yesterday he told me that he is trading his iphone for the new iphone, and has and itv, and a macbook. While he was telling me this, he was helping three different people online solve their computer problems!"
2. Every Techy must appear for training for basic sound board, and light board. The only exception is Tactors, who have to be at rehearsal for the musical.

The magic makers of the theatre world, whom are generally under appreciated mainly by the audience but also the actors. They generally wear all black so as not to be seen during the show. They work in a variety of fields such as costumes, makeup, set, props, lights, and sound. There is moderate rivalry between the various aspects of tech and it has been put to question whether the less technical aspects of tech (costumes, makeup...etc) count as official techies. There is something called techie discrimination that while subtle still exists. its the belief that that techies are inferior to actors which is of course incorrect. Techies tend to have very dirty minds and use foul language (not saying actors are any better) but also be very brilliant. Respect and compliment your local techies! I recommend that all actors do some tech work so as to better appreciate what these people do!
Omg that techie is really cute!

1)A term used to refer to a person who is interested in technology almost to the point of obsession.
2)A person that is extremely knowledgeable about Information Technology. These individuals generally have built custom CPU towers that run a opensource OS from either a UNIX or Linux thread. As well as spend Much of there free time researching new Computer technologies.
3)Techy is a term that a "Computer Nerd" may use to refer to himself or other "Computer Nerds" but may not be used by others (Kind of like the equivalent to the N word for "Computer Nerds") It is derogatory for non Techys to refer to someone as a Techy.
*Can also be spelled "Techie" ((however the "Teamsters" that work back stage at theaters are now using the term "Techie" to try and dissociate them selves with the teamsters that work on film sets.)Not cool!!! real Techies/Techys have come up with pretty much every major advancement in the technological field for the last 40+years. without them you wouldn't have the computerized lighting and sound systems that you use todays. that would make your jobs a lot harder. So please respect the title)
