What does DOXIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalNorth American
An informal, affectionate name for a dachshund, the long-bodied, short-legged dog breed.
Doxie shortens the German-derived breed name dachshund into a friendly nickname used by owners and breeders, much as Lab shortens Labrador. The word is heard mainly among dog enthusiasts and in casual conversation about pets rather than in formal writing or breed standards, where dachshund remains the proper term. Doxie carries a note of fondness, fitting the breed's popularity as a companion animal. Some regional dialects also use doxy as an older, unrelated word for a woman of loose reputation, a meaning entirely separate from the dog nickname.
