What does BULGY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Swollen or rounded outward beyond the expected shape.
Something bulgy pushes outward past its normal outline, whether it is an overstuffed suitcase, a swollen pocket or an old wall that has warped with age. The word is an informal, slightly playful relative of the plainer bulging, used more about clothing, luggage and everyday objects than in technical writing. A bulgy shape usually looks uneven or strained, as though whatever is inside is pressing to get out. Children's writing and casual speech favour bulgy for its light, almost comic sound.
