What does MUMSY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Britishinformal
Resembling a mother in a dowdy, comfortable and unfashionable way, especially in dress or manner.
Mumsy describes clothing, hairstyles or a general manner that seems practical and homely rather than stylish, calling to mind an image of an ordinary mother rather than someone dressed for fashion. It builds from the informal word mum for mother, with the ending -y turning it into a mild, faintly teasing description. The word is not usually meant as a serious insult, but as a light comment on something being sensible and comfortable at the cost of looking modern. It contrasts with terms suggesting glamour or fashion-consciousness.
