What does LOLLY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
A sweet food, especially a piece of hard candy or flavoured ice, fixed on a small stick and held while eaten.
British and Australian speakers use lolly as an everyday, friendly word for a lollipop or an ice lolly, the kind of frozen treat sold on a stick from a van or corner shop in summer. Australians in particular also use lolly more broadly for any small piece of sweet candy, whether or not it comes on a stick, which can confuse visitors expecting only the frozen or stick-mounted kind. Children's requests for a lolly are among the most common uses of the word in casual family speech.
