What does MEATY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having a lot of meat, or tasting and smelling strongly of meat; by extension, full of substance or worth serious discussion.
A meaty dish is one with a generous, satisfying amount of meat or a rich, savory flavor associated with it, as opposed to something thin or watery. The word extends naturally to non-food contexts, where a meaty report, role, or argument is one with real substance rather than empty padding. This figurative sense is now just as common as the literal one describing food.
