What does CUSHY mean in Scrabble?

A cushy job typically offers good pay or conditions in exchange for light duties, and people often use the word with a hint of envy or mild disapproval toward whoever holds it. The term likely comes from the Hindi word khush, meaning pleasant or happy, picked up by British soldiers serving in India and later used more widely in informal English. Beyond jobs, cushy can describe any arrangement, posting or lifestyle seen as comfortable with little hardship attached. The word almost always carries an informal, conversational tone rather than appearing in formal writing.
