What does HORNY mean in Scrabble?

informal
Having a hard, rough texture like horn, or, in informal use, feeling strong sexual desire.
Old boots, calloused hands, or a turtle's beak can all be described as horny in the older, literal sense, meaning hard and tough like animal horn. This original meaning still appears in technical and biological writing, describing surfaces or growths with a horn-like texture. The far more common modern sense is informal and refers to sexual arousal, a usage that has largely overtaken the literal meaning in everyday speech.
How HORNY is used
