What does CHILLY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Cold enough to be uncomfortable, or cold in manner and unfriendly.
Chilly sits between cool and cold: it describes air, water or a room that makes you shiver and reach for a jacket, without being freezing. People can feel chilly when they are underdressed, and they can also be chilly in a figurative way, meaning distant or unwelcoming. In some English-speaking regions the same spelling names a hot pepper, but that sense is a separate, much rarer use.
How CHILLY is used
Very common in weather talk; the figurative use describes receptions, glances and replies.
- The evening turned chilly once the sun went down.
- She gave him a chilly nod and walked on.
- It is chilly in the hall, so shut the door.
- Their chilly reply made the room go quiet.
