What does MINI mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Being much smaller than the standard or usual size of its kind.
Calling something mini tells the listener that a smaller version of a familiar object exists alongside the ordinary one. The object might be a car, a fridge, or a snack, but the smaller scale is the whole point of the word. Mini therefore signals size rather than a different kind of thing.
