What does CIGGY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritishAustralian
An informal word for a cigarette.
Ciggy is a casual, friendly-sounding shortening of cigarette, heard mainly in British and Australian speech. Smokers use it among friends where the fuller word would sound oddly formal, much as they might say a ciggy break instead of a cigarette break. The playful ending gives the word a light, almost childish tone despite naming an adult habit. It rarely appears in health warnings or official writing, which stick to cigarette.
