What does NANNA mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
An informal, affectionate word for one's grandmother.
Children in many British families call their grandmother nanna rather than using a more formal title, and the name often sticks well into adulthood. It carries the same warm, familiar feel as calling a mother mum instead of mother. Within one household, nanna can become a kind of personal nickname, sometimes shortened further or paired with a first name to tell two grandmothers apart. Less commonly, and mostly among children, nanna can also be tossed around as a mild tease for someone acting foolishly.
