What does DOODY mean in Scrabble?
noun
childishinformalNorth American
Excrement, especially in words used with or by small children.
Doody is the word small children are taught to use for excrement, alongside doodoo and poop, well before they are expected to use a plainer adult word. Parents and caregivers use it too when talking to a child, and the informality carries over into jokes and cartoons aimed at older audiences who want a mild, silly-sounding term. It has stayed a nursery word rather than becoming acceptable in ordinary adult conversation, though American cartoons and sitcoms use doody often enough that the word is recognised well beyond the nursery.
