What does FUDDY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informaldialect
Old-fashioned and dull, especially in a fussy or set-in-one's-ways manner.
Fuddy describes a person or manner stuck in outdated habits, the same idea spelled out more fully in the compound fuddy-duddy. Some dialect sources also let fuddy stand as a noun for the fussy, old-fashioned person, not just their manner. The word rarely appears alone in modern writing, since fuddy-duddy has largely taken over as the standard form, but fuddy is recorded on its own in older regional use. Either way, the sense stays close to primness and resistance to anything new.
