What does DITTY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A short, simple song or poem, often light-hearted or trivial in subject.

The term often carries a slightly dismissive tone, suggesting a piece of music too slight to be taken as serious art. Folk traditions and children's rhymes are especially rich sources of ditties passed down largely by ear.
