What does NEDDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
Britishdialectinformal
A pet or informal name for a donkey, especially in British dialect and children's speech.
Neddy softens the plain word donkey into something affectionate, the sort of name a child might use for a farm animal or a pet. English speakers often turn ordinary animal names into pet forms this way, much as puss stands in for cat, and neddy fills the same role for donkeys in parts of Britain. Outside its use for the animal, neddy has also served, less kindly, as slang for a slow or foolish person.
