What does DRYISH mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Not quite dry but close to it; slightly dry in texture, weather or taste.
Dryish is the sort of cautious word a cook or a gardener uses when a measure is a little off: a dryish dough that wants more water, or soil that has begun to crumble. Wine tasters apply it to a bottle with only a faint sweetness. It can also colour a joke, so a dryish sense of humour is understated rather than loud.
