What does LOPPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
dialect
Hanging loosely or drooping, rather than standing firm or upright.
Loppy describes something that flops rather than holding a firm shape, such as a dog's ears that hang down instead of standing up, or a plant stem too weak to support its own weight. The word sits close to floppy in both sound and sense, and dialect speakers use it for anything limp, slack or wilting. A loppy handshake, for instance, feels weak and lifeless rather than firm. Because it is regional and informal, loppy is heard far more in speech than seen in print.
