What does NUTSY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
slang
Crazy, foolish, or eccentric; an informal American term much like nutty.
Speakers reach for nutsy in casual conversation to describe a person, plan or piece of behaviour that seems wildly foolish or slightly mad, almost always without real hostility behind the word. It functions as an easy variant of the more common nutty, built on the same image of a person being as scattered as loose nuts. Because the word stays firmly informal, it turns up in relaxed speech and dialogue far more often than in careful writing.
