According to the Urban Dictionary.

A really hoopy frood

In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams, hoopy is defined as "a really together guy."

A frood is defined as "a really amazingly together guy."
An example from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy which discusses the importance of towels is as follows:

"Hey you, sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is!"
But also a music group/band from the UK. See http://www.hoopyfrood.co.uk/
Quote:
Musically, Frood is the result of a range of influences. The makers struggle to decide on the style and the genre it fits into but little time is spent debating this largely irrelevant question. We simply serve the music and it makes itself, so we can only quote a few critics opinions, such as "Floyd crossed with Sphongle", "kind of like trippy folk music", "a unique multidimensional blend of psychedelic-folk and groovy-electro" and our favourite quote "we suspect the work of hippies".
