What does MIDDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
BritishAustralian
A loose blouse with a wide, sailor-style collar, traditionally worn by children and by women as everyday or uniform clothing.
The middy takes its name from the midshipman's uniform that inspired its cut, with a squared collar falling over the shoulders and a straight, unfitted body. Schools and youth groups once used it as a plain washable top for uniforms, and it appeared in women's fashion as a casual summer blouse. In Australia the same short form, middy, also names a small glass used for serving beer, a completely separate sense of the word. Both uses shorten a longer word to a quick, everyday label.
How MIDDY is used
Mainly historical or regional; the clothing sense turns up in descriptions of old school uniforms, while the drink sense is everyday Australian pub speech.
