What does KILTIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scots
A person who wears a kilt, or a shoe with a fringed tongue that folds over the laces.
The first sense is a light, sometimes teasing name for a Highlander or anyone dressed in a kilt for a parade or a wedding. The second sense comes from fashion: kiltie shoes have a flap of fringed leather across the front, copied from the look of a kilt. Both meanings keep the idea of fringes and pleats associated with Scottish dress.
