What does LUNGI mean in Scrabble?
noun
Indian English
A length of cloth wrapped around the waist and worn as a lower garment, especially in India, Pakistan, and Burma.
A lungi is tied at the waist and typically reaches down to the ankles, serving as everyday dress for men across South Asia. It differs from a formal sarong mainly in the region and occasion where it is worn, and colours range from plain checks to bright solid dyes. Some wearers fold the cloth up to knee length for work or heat, a common and practical adjustment. Older spellings of the same word include lungee and lungyi.
