What does LEGGY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having noticeably long legs, especially in a way considered attractive; also describing a plant that has grown tall and thin with weak stems.
Leggy most often describes a person, a foal, or a model whose long legs stand out, giving an impression of height and elegance rather than awkwardness. Gardeners use the same word in a less flattering sense for a plant that has stretched upward with sparse leaves and thin, weak stems, usually because it reached toward a distant light source. A newborn foal is famously leggy, all long limbs and little coordination, before its body catches up over the following months.
