What does DUNGY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rare
Covered with, resembling, or full of dung; filthy in the manner of animal manure.
Dungy is a blunt, unpretty word for a farmyard or field left covered in animal waste, and older writing sometimes stretched it further to mean simply vile or low, as an insult aimed at a person or a place. It stays close to its root, dung, without the softening a more polite synonym like soiled or unclean would offer.
