What does DASHY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaicBritish
Showy and stylish in dress or manner, inclined to make a flashy impression.
Dashy describes someone or something that dresses or behaves with a bold, eye-catching flair meant to impress, verging on flashy rather than tasteful. The word is related to the noun dash in the sense of style and confidence, as in the phrase cutting a dash, but dashy applies the idea directly to clothes or manner. It appears mainly in older and dialect British English, where a dashy young man or a dashy outfit signals a deliberate attempt to stand out. Modern speech more often reaches for flashy or showy, leaving dashy as a slightly dated alternative.
