What does HOODY mean in Scrabble?
noun
Britishinformal
A variant spelling of hoodie, a casual sweatshirt with an attached hood, or, in British slang, a young person who wears one.
A hoody is the loose, hooded pullover more often spelled hoodie, worn casually for warmth with the hood able to be pulled up over the head. In British newspapers and everyday speech the same spelling also came to label a young person, usually one loitering in a group, whose hood is up and face partly hidden, and the word picked up a negative association with petty trouble-making. The garment sense remains neutral and is simply a matter of spelling choice between hoody and hoodie. The personal sense, by contrast, carries judgement about behaviour rather than clothing alone.
How HOODY is used
Common informally in British English for the garment and, more pointedly, for a young person seen as a troublemaker because of it.
- He pulled on a grey hoody before heading out into the rain.
- The shop banned anyone wearing a hoody with the hood up.
- A group of teenagers in dark hoody tops gathered outside the arcade.
- She kept an old hoody in the car for cold mornings.
- Newspapers blamed the hoody culture for a supposed rise in petty crime.
