What does LADDY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalBritish
Laddish; behaving in a boisterous, blokeish way typical of a laddie.
Laddy describes rowdy, beer-and-football behaviour associated with groups of young men out together, often loud, competitive and a little careless of manners. British newspapers and reviewers adopted laddy as a shorter alternative to laddish, especially when describing music, comedy or magazines aimed squarely at young men. A laddy night out or a laddy sense of humour signals the same crowd-pleasing, unpolished energy that the longer word laddish carries. The word stays informal and is rarely used outside British writing about culture and behaviour.
