What does NETTY mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialectregionalBritish
A toilet, especially an outdoor one; a dialect word from North East England.
A netty traditionally stood apart from the house, often at the bottom of a yard, and served as the household toilet before indoor plumbing became common. The word belongs to Geordie and wider North East English dialect and is still used with affection by people from Newcastle and the surrounding region, sometimes even for a modern indoor bathroom. It appears often in local memoirs and dialect writing describing life in older terraced housing, where a shared netty served several families. Outside that region the word is rarely understood without explanation.
