What does CISSY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
A British spelling variant of sissy, meaning a timid, weak or effeminate person, especially a boy considered insufficiently masculine.
Cissy carries the same disapproving tone as sissy, most often aimed at boys who are seen as overly cautious, easily upset or lacking in toughness by traditional standards. The spelling with c rather than s is the older and more distinctly British form, related historically to the given name Cissy, a pet form of Cecilia. Because the word is used to belittle someone, it is generally treated as dismissive or unkind rather than neutral.
