What does BIDDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialectinformal
An informal or dialect word for a hen or a young chicken.
Biddy is a homely name for a hen, most often heard in farmyard talk and in old-fashioned regional speech rather than in formal writing about poultry. Children calling the birds in to be fed sometimes use biddy as a simple, friendly name, in the same way that other farm animals get their own pet names in everyday speech. The term is thought to come from a call used to summon hens, biddy biddy, which then became attached to the bird itself. Because it sounds casual and old-fashioned, biddy has mostly given way to hen in modern farming and cookery writing.
