What does LUCKIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scots
In Scots, an elderly woman, especially one who keeps an alehouse.
Luckie was a friendly or familiar title for an older woman in Scotland, much as goodwife was used elsewhere. It was often attached to a name, as in Luckie Macnaughton, and a luckie who ran a tavern was a familiar figure in old Edinburgh. The word is the same sound as lucky but has no connection to good fortune in this sense.
