What does BLUEY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalBritish
Somewhat blue in colour; tinged with blue rather than fully blue.
Bluey belongs to a small family of informal English colour words formed by adding -y to a colour name, alongside greeny and browny, and each one softens the base colour into a rough approximation rather than a precise shade. In Australian slang the same spelling also does noun duty, naming a bedroll or bundle of belongings a travelling worker carried, and separately serving as an affectionate nickname for someone with red hair. As an adjective, though, bluey simply describes something with a hint of blue, such as bluey-grey smoke or bluey-green sea glass.
How BLUEY is used
Informal; common in casual British and Australian speech rather than in precise technical description.
