What does FOGIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An old-fashioned or conservative person, most often named in the phrase old fogie.
Fogie is simply a variant spelling of fogey, and English speakers use it almost purely inside the fixed phrase old fogie for someone set in ways that others find dated. The label points at habits and tastes rather than at age itself, so a young person who resists new music or technology can be called a fogie too. Because the tone is teasing rather than harsh, people often apply the word to themselves, half proud of the resistance to change.
How FOGIE is used
Informal and mildly humorous; almost always follows the word old rather than standing alone as a plain noun.
