What does MALMY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
dialect
Resembling or containing malm, a soft, crumbly mixture of chalk and clay found in some soils.
Malmy soil breaks apart easily in the hand, being soft and slightly chalky rather than dense or heavy like clay. Farmers and gardeners in parts of southern England, where malm deposits occur naturally, use malmy to describe ground that drains well but can turn to dust in a dry summer. Older descriptions used malmy for a soft, easily cut building stone, since malm stone was prized for carving even though it weathers less well than harder rock. The word survives mainly in regional and older agricultural writing rather than in everyday modern speech.
