What does BEEFY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Heavily built and muscular; having a solid, thickset body.
A beefy person has a large, strong-looking frame, often thought of in terms of broad shoulders and heavy muscle rather than height or leanness. The word draws directly on beef, comparing a sturdy body to the solid bulk of cattle raised for meat. It is used both approvingly, of an athlete or bodyguard whose size suggests strength, and mockingly, of someone thought overly bulky or slow. Beefy can also describe food, such as a beefy stew or gravy, meaning rich in the flavor of beef.
