What does FUSSY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Overly concerned with small details; hard to please, especially about food, appearance, or minor matters.
A fussy person pays close, often excessive attention to small details, rejecting things that fall even slightly short of their exact preferences, whether in food, clothing, or how a task is done. The word can describe a picky eater who refuses many ordinary dishes, or a client who insists on endless small changes before accepting a piece of work. Fussy also applies to objects, so a design or a dress covered in unnecessary decoration and detail can itself be called fussy, distinct from clean, simple styles. Across people and things, fussy always points to excessive attention to minor details rather than genuine importance.
