What does LUMPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Covered with or full of lumps, or containing solid pieces where a smooth texture is expected.
Lumpy most often describes food or a mixture that has not been stirred or blended smoothly, such as gravy with flour that never dissolved or a mattress with uneven stuffing. Sailors also call a sea lumpy when short, choppy waves make the surface rough and uneven rather than a steady swell. In both cases lumpy points to an unwanted unevenness, something that should have been smooth but was not. The word comes directly from lump plus the common adjective ending -y, the same pattern seen in bumpy and chunky.
