What does FUNNY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Causing laughter or amusement; also, strange, odd, or difficult to explain.
Funny most often describes something that makes people laugh, from a joke or a comedian's timing to an amusing situation that unfolds by accident. The same word covers a very different, unrelated sense of strange or puzzling, as when a machine makes a funny noise or a plan seems funny in a way that raises suspicion rather than laughter. Informally, feeling funny can also describe a mild sense of illness or discomfort, distinct from both the humour and the strangeness senses. Context usually makes clear which sense is meant, since amusing and odd rarely overlap in the same sentence.
