What does NOSEY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Excessively curious about other people's private business; overly inquisitive, an alternate spelling of nosy.
A nosey person pries into conversations, mail, or matters that are none of their concern, often asking prying questions or peeking where they should not. The spelling nosey exists alongside the more common nosy, both tracing back to nose in the figurative sense of poking one's nose into something. English speakers use either spelling interchangeably, though nosy appears somewhat more often in edited writing. The word usually carries a mildly critical or teasing tone rather than a neutral, purely descriptive one.
