What does CHESTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalBritish
Suffering from a cough or congestion in the chest, or, informally, puffed up with pride.
In everyday British speech a person with a chesty cough has a deep, rattling cough with phlegm, and chesty can describe the cold itself. The word has a second, figurative life: someone chesty swaggers about with their chest thrown out, pleased with themselves and a little arrogant. Doctors also use it loosely for anything marked by chest disease.
