What does DISHY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalBritish
Physically attractive; good-looking, especially of a person.
Dishy is an informal British compliment applied to someone considered attractive, most often used casually among friends rather than in formal writing. The word likely grew from the older idiom of calling an attractive person a dish, extending the food metaphor into the adjective dishy. It carries a light, slightly old-fashioned charm and is heard more in conversation than in print. Dishy is used of both men and women, unlike some similar slang terms that skew toward one sex.
