What does AUNTIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An aunt, especially as addressed or referred to affectionately by a child.
Auntie adds a warm, familiar tone to aunt, and children usually learn it before they learn the plain word aunt itself. Families often attach a first name after it, as in Auntie Rose, turning a relationship term into something close to a nickname. The spelling auntie is more common in British and Australian English, while American writers more often use aunty for the same word. Because the word sounds childish, adults mostly keep it for family talk rather than for formal writing.
