What does GOATY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Like a goat, especially in smell or in appearance.
Goaty does an unusual job for an adjective: it is almost always about smell, and it is almost always unwelcome. Cheese makers use it more precisely, since a goaty note is expected in some cheeses and counted a fault in others, and the word appears in tasting notes far more often than in ordinary description.
