What does LOVEY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
An informal, affectionate term of address, similar to dear or darling.
Lovey is used the way a name might be replaced with dear, letting a speaker sound warm toward someone close, or even toward a stranger being served in a shop or cafe. The word turns up especially often in British English, where a shopkeeper or bus driver might call a customer lovey without any romantic meaning at all. As an adjective in older writing, lovey could also describe someone as fondly affectionate, though the noun used as a form of address is by far the more common use today.
