What does LIPPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective

Impudent or cheeky, especially in speaking back to someone with authority.
Someone described as lippy answers back, argues or makes smart remarks when a more respectful or quiet response would be expected, particularly toward a parent, teacher or boss. The word carries a mild scolding tone, often used by adults about children or by one friend teasing another for talking too freely. Lippy focuses on the mouth as the source of the trouble, in the same way that other body-part words such as handy or leggy describe a quality tied to that part. It is common in spoken English across Britain, Australia and North America.
