What does NUTTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Full of nuts or tasting like nuts; also, informally, crazy, eccentric, or foolish.
A nutty flavour describes food that contains actual nuts or simply carries their rich, toasted quality, as with a nutty cheese or a nutty grain of brown rice. The same word shifts entirely in casual speech, where calling a person or an idea nutty means it seems slightly mad or wildly impractical, a sense that grew from the older idea of someone being as odd as a nut is hard and unpredictable to crack. Both meanings stay in everyday use, and context almost always makes clear which one a speaker intends.
