What does CADGY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Scotsdialect
Cheerful, lively and in high spirits.
Cadgy is a Scots word for someone who is in a bright, playful mood, often used of a person who feels unusually well or pleased with themselves. It can also describe an animal that is frisky and full of energy rather than calm. The word appears mainly in older Scots literature and regional glossaries rather than in everyday modern speech. Its closest ordinary English equivalents, such as cheerful or frisky, do not carry quite the same playful, slightly boastful shade of meaning that cadgy has in Scots use.
