What does CUPPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Marked with small, shallow, cup-shaped hollows, as of turf or ground.
Ground is called cuppy when its surface is dotted with small shallow dips, each roughly the shape of a cup, rather than being flat and even. Golfers use the word for a fairway or green pocked with such hollows, since a ball can settle into one and leave what is called a cuppy lie, making the next shot harder to judge. The unevenness usually comes from wear, old divots or dry, sandy soil that crumbles into little basins.
How CUPPY is used
Best known from golf, where a cuppy lie describes a ball resting in a shallow hollow.
