What does DOOLIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Indian Englishhistorical
A covered litter carried on poles, used in India to transport passengers or the sick and wounded.
Doolie, also spelled dhooly, doolee, or dooly, names a simple covered couch slung between two poles and carried by bearers, once a common way to move travelers, and especially the sick or wounded, across country in India. British accounts of Indian travel and military campaigns frequently mention the doolie as the standard means of carrying casualties away from the field. In an unrelated slang sense, doolie also names a first-year cadet at the United States Air Force Academy, a use that has nothing to do with the Indian litter.
