What does JENNY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A female donkey, or, by extension, the female of certain other animals such as the wren.
Jenny is the traditional English term for a female donkey, paired with jack for the male, much as mare and stallion apply to horses. The same word extends by habit to the females of a few other small creatures, most notably the jenny wren. Historically, jenny also named the spinning jenny, an early machine that let one worker spin several threads of yarn at once. Today the animal sense remains the most familiar use of the word.
