What does FATTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Containing or consisting largely of fat.
Fatty describes food and tissue where fat is the dominant or a conspicuous part, from a fatty cut of meat to the fatty deposits a doctor might mention on a scan. The word carries a mild negative charge in cookery and medicine alike: a fatty meal is one a nutritionist would flag, and fatty tissue in an artery is not good news. In children's speech and in old-fashioned playground insult, the same four letters also serve as a noun for a fat person, though that use is now widely felt to be unkind and is fading from print.
How FATTY is used
Before a noun in cookery and medicine, as in fatty meat or fatty liver; as a rude noun for a person it is best avoided.
- The fatty cut was cheaper but harder to trim.
- Doctors watch for fatty deposits building up in the arteries.
- A fatty sauce coated everything on the plate.
- The report warned against a diet too fatty to sustain.
- Fish liver is famously fatty, which is exactly why it is rich in vitamin D.
