Smokeys

Smokeys is a term used in English to refer to various people, places, and organizations that adopt "Smokey" or "Smokeys" as a name or nickname. It is most commonly encountered as a nickname for individuals whose given name or public persona evokes smoke, fire, or a rugged, outdoorsy image. In everyday use, several musicians, actors, or public figures may be informally described as "Smokeys" if more than one shares the nickname.

In geography, the closest widely recognized reference is to the Great Smoky Mountains, a prominent mountain range along the Tennessee–North Carolina border in the United States. The range and surrounding national park are frequently called "the Smokies" in tourism and local speech; the plural form "Smokies" appears in signage, brochures, and colloquial speech, though "Smoky Mountains" is the official name.

In commerce and branding, "Smokeys" appears as a business name or brand identity for restaurants, bars, and shops. Such uses are typically regional and may evoke images of smoky flavors, warmth, hospitality, or wilderness.

Because of its broad usage, "Smokeys" is ambiguous outside a defined context. When encountered, it is best interpreted from surrounding text or regional context. See also Smokey (disambiguation).
