'Groove thang': meaning thereof

No idea. Can you give more context?

Sure,
They went to Ray's reunion and Debra had a good time dancing with other guys. Ray didn't like it and they started to argue as they got home. Debra mentioned about ray's Eustachian tub's problem and his sensitivity and Ray said: What is a big medical problem with you, ruptured booty? Deb answered: I never ruptured my booty, but one time I did sprain my groove thang.
I hope this he

Booty means her buttocks.

I should think that her 'groove thang' is her ******.

A salutary warning to us all.

Nona has already answered.
I think I know why I never watch that show!

Thank you all.
I would have never thought in such a family sitcom they say such things.

Well, 'groove thang' would go far above the heads of any children watching.

I must admit I spent 10 minutes wondering what to put as the translation as I do not want to offend anyone, but decided it was best to play it straight rather than get into more confusion with further euphemisms.

I've never seen the show myself. You have to bear in mind though, what is unmentionable i

Is there a play on archaic dance-speak here too?

In years gone by, a dancer would sometimes 'get into a groove'. A 'groove-thang' might also be one's dancing groove. One might metaphorically 'sprain' it by exceeding oneself on the dance-floor.

Returning to Nona's diagnosis: Debra must have danced with exceptional vigour. What would you say to your doctor...

Listen to the song by Peaches and Herb entitled "Shake your Groove thing" and see if you can figure it out.

Hi

And, if it helps, the English music band, Heaven 17, wrote a song in 1981 called "We don't need that fascist groove thang"

I would take it to mean "a way of behaving" (so, yes, it is related to dancing)

I don't really know about spraining your groove thang. Maybe it means "I lost my way"; "I suddenly found that I couldn't act in the way I used to"
