What does BALDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An informal, often affectionate or teasing name for a person who is bald or has very little hair.
Baldy is a casual nickname people use for someone with a bald or shaved head, and it can sound either friendly or mildly teasing depending on the tone and the relationship between speakers. Friends and family often use baldy affectionately toward someone who has lost their hair or shaves it deliberately, much like other short nicknames built from a physical trait. The word can also appear as a plain description, calling a hairless surface or object baldy in a loose, informal way. Because it names a physical feature directly, speakers generally avoid baldy with strangers or in formal settings, reserving it for people they know well.
