What does KITTY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A sum of money contributed by members of a group and held for shared use, such as in a card game or household fund.
A kitty is built up gradually as each participant adds a small, agreed amount, and the total kitty is then paid out or spent according to rules the group has set. In card games such as poker, the kitty often covers the cost of new decks or refreshments rather than being won as a prize. Households and workplaces also keep a kitty for shared expenses like tea, coffee or a leaving gift. The word is also used informally as a pet name for a cat, though the money sense of kitty is the one recorded most widely in dictionaries.
