What does DOILED mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Scotsdialect
Stupid, foolish, or confused in the mind, especially through old age.
Doiled describes someone whose thinking has become muddled or slow-witted, whether from age, a knock, or simple foolishness, and it is closely tied to the Scots word doilt, of which it is a spelling variant. Speakers of Scots and northern English dialect use doiled about a person rather than about an object or a situation. It is not used in standard written English outside dialect glossaries and dialogue meant to sound regional.
