What does FADDY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Britishinformal
Excessively particular or fussy about small preferences, especially concerning food; prone to following passing fads.
Faddy most often describes someone, particularly a child, who refuses many ordinary foods or insists on eating things prepared in one exact way, making meals difficult to plan. The word can also describe a person generally inclined to chase short-lived fashions or crazes rather than sticking with tried and tested habits. British speakers use faddy conversationally and with mild exasperation rather than as a serious accusation. The word's root, fad, points to something taken up briefly and abandoned, which faddy extends into a description of personal fussiness.
