What does CRAPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaicliterary
Resembling crape, the thin, crimped black silk fabric once worn as a sign of mourning.
Crapy describes cloth or a texture that looks like crape, the crinkled black silk once used for mourning bands, veils, and armbands in Western funeral custom. A crapy fold or a crapy sheen calls to mind that same fine, puckered surface rather than the fabric itself. Because mourning crape has largely disappeared from modern dress, crapy now appears mostly in older novels and descriptions of Victorian-era clothing. It should not be confused with the informal word crappy, which is spelled and pronounced differently and means something entirely unrelated.
How CRAPY is used
