What does DOPEY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Sluggish or half-asleep, especially from tiredness or a drug; also, mildly foolish or slow-witted.
Dopey describes the fuzzy, heavy-eyed state that follows too little sleep, a strong cold medicine or an anaesthetic wearing off, when thinking feels slow and reactions lag. The same word slides easily into a milder insult, calling someone dopey for acting foolishly or missing something obvious, without the harshness of calling them stupid outright. A dopey grin or a dopey comment both suggest a pleasant, slightly dim-witted quality rather than real unkindness. Across both senses, dopey keeps a soft, affectionate edge that keeps it from sounding cruel.
