What does CASUAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Relaxed and informal in manner, dress or approach, often done without much planning or as a matter of routine rather than for a special occasion.
Casual describes clothing, attitudes or arrangements that are relaxed rather than formal, from casual Friday dress codes at work to a casual chat between friends with nothing planned in advance. English also uses casual as a noun for a worker taken on for irregular or short-term shifts rather than a permanent contract, a common arrangement in retail, hospitality and warehousing. The word can additionally describe something happening by chance, as in a casual encounter, extending its core sense of being unplanned into the idea of pure coincidence.
