What does COWY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Suggestive of a cow, or having the look or manner of one.
Cowy is a plain compound of cow and the ending -y, and it is used loosely of anything that calls a cow to mind — a smell, a slow way of moving, a placid stare. Dairy testers narrow it further, for milk that has picked up a taint from the shed, but that use is one application of the word rather than the whole of it.
