What does DOGGY mean in Scrabble?
noun
childishinformal
A dog, in the simplified baby-talk vocabulary that parents use with toddlers.
Doggy is the word adults reach for when talking to small children about dogs, softening the plainer word dog into something friendlier and easier to say. Beyond nursery speech, adults use doggy informally among themselves too, often with the same warmth, as when someone coos over a doggy in a shop window. As an adjective, doggy describes anything dog-like, from a doggy smell on a damp coat to doggy behaviour such as tail-wagging enthusiasm. The word keeps a light, affectionate tone throughout, rarely used in serious or technical writing about dogs.
